The protagonist of the story is a 27-year-old girl, Frances Halliday (Greta Gerwig), who is in an overwhelmed situation in her life. On the other hand, real problems coerce her to face maturity and truth. The film follows a two-pronged approach, showing her stumbling blocks as a dancer on the one hand, and focusing on her close relationship with her friend Sophie (Mickey Sumner) on the other. Sophie and her are too good to be together, they eat, live and mess around together, and even go to the subway station to urinate. They express to each other a joking but undisguised love and friendship, and they often recklessly say nasty words that only lovers can say.
It's the kind of friendship between silly young people, with an unworldly innocence. One day, however, this friendship will inevitably break when a young man confronts the truth of life. So when Sophie spoke of her admiration for another apartment and offered to move out and rent it with another girl, Frances experienced the feeling of being abandoned. The dancer's salary is very poor, and Frances has no choice but to share the rent with two boys. These two young artist-like people live like hippies, and they have nothing to do with girls and beer. One of them, Michael Zegen, who was always writing the script for "Saturday Night Live", seemed to have a spark with Frances at one point, but quickly gave up and made fun of Frances Silk is "Dating Incompetent".
Several characters in the film are whimsical and unique, and their attitudes towards work and life are also hesitant to varying degrees. These are accurate reflections of the current living conditions of young people in New York. The film uses interesting plots and a realistic tone to express the spiritual confusion of the young generation at the node of life. When the news comes that Sophie is leaving the United States with her fiancé to settle in Japan, Frances leaves the hippies' apartment. She went home for Christmas in her hometown of Sacramento. Then a walk-away trip took her to Paris for the weekend. She, who had expected to reunite with her old friend in Paris, wasted more time sleeping here. Soon she returned to the university where she studied dance and took a part-time job, pouring drinks for the big-time alumni who came back to school. Here she met Sophie, who was always in her mind. Depressed Sophie gives Frances another hope of "yesterday again", but the good times don't last long, and the soap bubbles always burst.
So far, Frances' three trips outside New York have come to an end. In her hometown, Frances soaked in the warm bathtub and refused to come out, as if she had returned to the state of a newborn baby, but her mother's knock on the door urged her like reality; in the taxi, she could not help but listen A local friend who couldn't get in touch for a few days said, "You came at the right time", but she was rushing to the airport to leave Paris; in the old university, she rushed out of the door of the dormitory, but she didn't have time to stop Sophie from walking away. car to go. The growth that has to be faced, the missed opportunity, and the friends who go back on their word, the daily life of life has changed from the joy of the past to a touch of sadness. Frances Halliday still maintains that attachment to friendship in her heart, just like what she said after she was drunk - it is a dimension of life that only two people who are in the same heart can realize. However, both work and life, she has made compromises. Seeing that the name card on her home mailbox was too long, she took it out and put it back in the letter, Frances Halladay (Frances Halladay) became Frances Ha (Frances Ha) .
