Key

Two, twenty-something roommates search for their lost "key" and contemplate the nature of their relationship in a comedy about love, friendship and getting on.

Dana and Carla, twenty-something friends/roommates/lovers are looking for the misplaced key to their apartment. If they can't find it, they can't leave to attend the fete of an imposing "friend" of Carla's. Is the key really "missing?" Was it lost on purpose, or as the result of personality traits that have irked these young women for some time? The two search for the key and for answers about each other and their relationship while asking, "if I were a key, where would I be?"
