Roughly Polished

Talib is a regular guy, who’s not your average guy. A heart-broken heart-breaker and seeker on a quest  to make sense of the ambiguousness of life and authenticity. His playful observance and at times  precarious entanglement with friends, lovers, associates and acquaintances past and present reveal to  him the degree to which every choice echoes.  One a comically ill-fated couples trip to Chicago with his girlfriend Helena and friends, Bryce and Aryanna,  erupts in furniture-shaking squabbles, spilled liquor and sleeping in hotel lobbies. Talib is rudely  awakened to the reality that love and honesty cannot be given in earnest to anyone else until you give  them to yourself.  If he knew better, he’d do better. Talib’s learning and he wants to remind you that no matter how much!  smut and coal is caked inside each of us, there are jewels and gems to excavate.
