In Spite of Ourselves

Mark considered himself a realist until he met Alice at an abandoned subway station. She was spray-painting graffiti with quotes from forgotten poets while he rushed to a crucial job interview. Their argument about the meaning of art escalated into an absurd bet: to spend a week living each other's day. The banker wears t-shirts with anarchist slogans, while the street artist tries to decipher corporate reports. This 2026 romantic comedy turns New York into a giant playground where social roles prove to be merely temporary costumes. The ridiculous experiment gradually reveals unexpected layers in the characters, forcing them to reconsider their own principles and prejudices.
