Synopsis
The story of Inez & Doug & Kira is set in motion after Inez, a brilliant yet unstable recovering addict, commits suicide and leaves no note. Inez’s mysterious death leaves the two mourners—her sister Kira and Kira’s fiancé, Doug—with a mound of unanswered questions. As they look for clues and dig up the past, the puzzle pieces begins to come together, uncovering the trio’s complicated web of relationships. In a film that explores the collateral damage that can be caused by a loved one’s psychological unraveling, writer/director Julia Kots tackles themes of mental health, addiction, and being Blewish (half Black, half Jewish) in an intimate, yet unflinching light. This is a film that provides as many thrilling twists as it does gut-punches.
