    People & Things follows a circle of twenty-somethings in contemporary Los Angeles as they navigate breakups, burnout, and the weight of life online while searching for connection and a clearer sense of self. Told with a quiet, up-close sensibility, it lingers in the gap between who we are and who we imagined we would be, where progress is gradual, imperfections stick around, and purpose can be hard to spot. Through the intertwined paths of Matt, Luke, Leena, and Annie, the story explores loneliness, jealousy, changing ambitions, and the longing to love and be loved when real closeness feels just out of reach. At heart, it is about the universal pull toward human connection and the relief that comes from admitting we are still figuring things out.
