Seeing Someone Else
SSE is a psychedelic coming-of-age comedy about a young man coming to terms with his future, as well as the impact he has on those around him. After a devastating break-up, our protagonist, John, begins taking a mysterious drug that allows him to see his ex-girlfriend as though she never left. As time goes on however, he realizes that this imaginary woman has little in common with the person he used to know. Like many coming of age films, this story tackles what it means to become your own person, and the frustration that comes when it seems like everybody but you has it all figured out. More than that, though, SSE is a film about the ideas we form in our heads about our loved ones, and how they can forever damage our relationships if not addressed.
