In a series of captivating encounters, several young people try to find the ideal roommate, that rare gem with whom they can share their space, and their values. A complex and engaging picture of a generation accustomed to playing all their identity cards, Living Together maps a mosaic of cultures and ideas, with explorations of community, individualism and the right to housing in constant interplay.
