Plot introduction

22-year-old Ola (played by Lena Doohan) just graduated from the Midwestern liberal arts After graduating from college, I returned to my mother's Tribeca studio with a sense of confusion about the future. She has almost no strengths and very few to mention: a seemingly useless degree in film theory, a brain without a sense of direction, a Youtube page with 357 views, and a man who left her Instead, I went to find my boyfriend and a hamster whose life was short. Fortunately, her childhood friend still lives here. When she was looking for a job, a restaurant was recruiting, and she also had several romances while she was single. Ola quickly left her art major behind and plunged into a new life, which included: a dead-end housewife job, freezing to death at East Village parties, stealing $20 from her mother's Prada purse, attending... The pathetic “art show” in Brooklyn, getting an ugly tattoo, drinking all the wine in the wine cabinet, and having a huge falling out with my sister. Faced with these ridiculous trivial matters in life, she just wants to know who she is...
