Dinner In America

description

CUFF 2020 Opening Night Film!

An on-the-lam punk rocker and a young woman obsessed with his band embark on a series of misadventures through the decaying suburbs of the American Midwest. Patty is a socially awkward, sheltered 20-year-old escaping her banal existence through punk music; Simon, is a snarling anarchist and seemingly toxic punk seeking refuge from the law. When these two cross paths, their radically different personalities make them an unlikely duo. DINNER IN AMERICA is a love letter to the early ‘90s punk scene in Lincoln, Nebraska, and an underdog love story about two very different characters, each marginalized misfits in their own right.
