Everyone has an expiration date
A branch library becomes the battlefield for a fierce war of wills in this dark comedy by writer-director Tamar Halpern. A head librarian quietly loathes the new book shelver, a feisty woman fresh out of rehab. But what begins as simmering passive aggression soon spirals into all-out war.
