A friendship breakup film. "Trying" follows Nora and Sarah, two childhood best friends who haven't seen each other in almost a year, as they meet for coffee and take a walk around Glassell Park in Los Angeles. Inspired by films like My Dinner with Andre and The Before Trilogy, as well as Esther Perel's podcast, "Trying" explores a critical moment in Nora and Sarah’s relationship as they confront the fear of having grown apart but T-R-Y to reconnect.
