Sunny, Violet, Jacosta, Pauline... What's to keep her from changing again and leaving her friends and fiance behind? Who's the odd man in the hat and why did he bring a birdcage to a bar? Does the hot bartender really exist? The group fractures, seeking answers to these questions over the course of one surreal night. A film about identity and history and what people choose to reveal to each other.

Fay Grim
Production Design
Continuación de "Henry Fool". La historia empieza ocho años después de que Henry abandonara el país dejando a su mujer, Fay Grim, y a su hijo Ned que ya tiene catorce años. Henry Fool había revolucionado la vida de Simon y de su hermana Fay. Con Fay tuvo una tormentosa relación sexual, con Simon un pacto de amistad. Un buen día, tal como llegó, se fue, pero Simon fue a parar a la cárcel por haberlo ayudado a escapar de la justicia. Simon ha tenido tiempo de sobra, en la soledad de su celda, para pensar que Henry no era en absoluto el hombre que aparentaba ser. Sus sospechas se ven confirmadas cuando Fay le cuenta que la CIA le ha pedido que viaje a París para recuperar ciertos objetos personales de Henry...
