20 something stand-up comedian Henrietta hasn’t been funny since her detached dad died. Distraught, in a quarter life crisis, she leaves her messy London life behind for LA, to re-examine her past relationships with dysfunctional ex-lovers and friends struggling with adulthood. Henri tries comedically and introspectively to find humour in her darkest moments.
