The Beautiful Ones
TFI Suppport
Logline
The lives of a young veteran, a tormented teenager and an activist journalist intertwine by way of an old Polaroid camera that changes hands over the course of 15 years following 9/11 in a portrait of young Americans becoming unwittingly bound together by their experiences of love, loss and search for identity.
