Socks and Cakes – A Short Comedy Drama
Socks and Cakes is a bitter dramedy, written and directed by Antonio Padovan, about the relationships between five ordinary people of different ages, backgrounds, cultures and tastes that find themselves together at a dinner party in Greenwich Village. Harry is a misanthropic French literature professor who is just taking his life one day at a time, getting by with just enough to survive. His ex-wife Amanda is now married to Harry’s best friend, Richard, an architect. Both seem to put on a positive front that all is well with their marriage, but Amanda has her doubts and Richard has a wandering eye, especially when he meets the free-spirited, innocent, Sophie. Sophie has come to the party with her current boyfriend, the older and always grinning real estate broker, David.
