WISH YOU WERE HERE is a romantic dramedy following Glorie Umaru (Jelani Talib) and Stella Mohammed (Breunna Franklin) as they look back on their relationship and try to answer the big question: where did things go wrong? Told in a series of flashbacks and therapy sessions over a half-hour, the film explores love and relationships in a modern context, while also confronting party culture, art, social media, identity, memories and the effects they have on their young romance.
