Everyone’s Talking All at Once

02:23 am

It was hard to know exactly when the thought had come to him. It could have been ten minutes earlier, when he was taking off his clothes and hers, or in that very heartbeat and before the next, or maybe it had not even happened yet – maybe this was just the embryonic trace of a future thought which had yet to fully coalesce – but whatever the case, at some point it began to feel significant to Magnus that he was not wearing a condom.

So begins Everyone’s Talking All at Once, a sexy and darkly comedic exploration of a pivotal night in one couple’s relationship. Scenes from the bedroom, in which Magnus and his girlfriend Meredith must navigate an existential crossroads, interlace with scenes from the dinner party they attended earlier that night, during which a chorus of voices weighed in on the trials and tribulations of being alive in the age of AI, political unrest, and midlife crisis marathon running.  And if it is a struggle to contend with the present, how much should one couple bet on the future?

Equal parts modern love story and anthropological case study, Everyone’s Talking is a relatable and poignant dispatch from our moment in time to the next.
