Not My Weekend
Synopsis
Unfolding over the course of a single, fateful night, the film follows Sharon, a woman in her 40s eager to reclaim a spark of her youth. When an invitation to a rave promises a reunion with an old flame, she seizes the chance for a night of freedom. However, her plans are thrown into chaos when her ex abruptly cancels, leaving her desperate to find childcare. As Sharon navigates the obstacles of the night, a harrowing dramatic irony emerges: the party she is fighting so hard to reach is the Nova Music Festival, just hours before the dawn of October 7th.
