Writer/director Ryan Oksenberg dives headfirst into the murky waters of codependence and self-destruction with Foibles, a jet-black comedy that escalates from awkward reunion to full-blown carnage. Jordan (John Karna) is a young man struggling with depression and an overwhelming sense of failure. After a one-night stand leaves without saying goodbye, he pulls down the attic ladder, where a noose he had prepared was already hanging. As he puts it around his neck, the step stool accidentally kicks out from under him, and he has seconds to survive. At the last moment, he is saved by his ex-girlfriend, Gabrielle (Carina Conti). Although Jordan claims the suicide attempt was accidental, Gabrielle suspects otherwise.
