DIRECTED BY GARY ANDERSON

Detroit, 1967. In the gleaming lobby of 1300 Lafayette East, the
Supremes are fighting, a young Jewish housewife is pining for
something new, and Reena Walker - an aspiring Motown singer - is locked
out of her apartment in a peignoir set paid for by a married man. Can two women,
one white and one black, forge a friendship atop this powder keg of a city?
