Synopsis
Set against the backdrop
of New Yorks music and art scene MARGARITA HAPPY HOUR
allows a rare and intimate glimpse into the world of urban motherhood.
Five women (on the verge of turning thirty) meet at their favorite
bar every day in the late afternoon (with their toddlers in
tow) for half-price drink specials, and to jabber uninhibitedly
about life, libidos and lactation. The lynchpin of the quintet
is Zelda (Eleanor Hutchins), an artist and unwed mother struggling
to maintain her persona as a sexy, rock-star seducing underground
siren.
To make ends meet she does freelance illustration for a porno-mag,
and shares a communal Brooklyn loft with slackers, hipsters
and scene-queens. In the bedroom she shares with her boyfriend
Max (played by Indie director Larry Fessenden), Zelda coos her
baby to sleep as the walls vibrate with loud music and laughter.
When her best friend Natali moves in, Zelda is forced to decide
whether to remain trapped by the illusions of youth, or break
out of the cycle.
