The film follows Palace, a successful black Aquarius and sculptor, as she navigates her first 24 hours as an MFA. Despite her success, she faces frustration and exhaustion, and plans a silent protest by skipping her graduation party. The movie is set in upstate New York and explores the contrast between the natural beauty of the area and the vibrant, drug-infused art party scene. With a dynamic soundtrack and cinematography inspired by street photography, gonzo cinema, and 90s rom-coms, the film delves into the themes of release and emancipation from mental slavery.
