After a painful breakup, a young woman is pulled into an intense new romance within a tight-knit New York City friend group, where late nights, parties, and private rituals slowly blur the line between love, dependency, and betrayal.
Reeling from the end of a long-term relationship, Dee Dee moves through New York City emotionally untethered. Between cigarettes, subway rides, and nights spent at “The Lights” – her favorite quiet spot overlooking the city – she struggles to reconnect with herself and the people around her.
Everything shifts when she meets Arthur through a chaotic but deeply connected circle of friends. Alongside G, Oliver, Alexander, and the rest of the group, Dee Dee is swept into a world of house parties, shared apartments, inside jokes, and long conversations that stretch until sunrise. At the center of it all is Arthur, whose warmth and attention make Dee Dee feel understood in a way she hasn’t experienced before.
As the seasons change, their relationship intensifies. What begins as playful flirtation grows into something consuming, forcing Dee Dee to confront her own desire for love, intimacy, and permanence. But within a group where everyone’s lives overlap, secrets become impossible to contain. When Dee Dee discovers Arthur has been living a double life, the emotional foundation she rebuilt around him collapses instantly.
Set over the course of a year in downtown New York, STICKERS is a raw portrait of modern relationships and the fragile ecosystems built within young adulthood. At once romantic and devastating, the film explores what happens when friendship, loneliness, sex, and love become impossible to separate.
