In "Keuka Lake," Nadia grapples with the profound loss of her husband, Drew, after a tragic car accident. Struggling to accept his death, she entertains dark suspicions, hinting at her desire for understanding and justice in a world that feels chaotic. During a visit to her sister in Montreal, Nadia's perspective on relationships and life is further challenged, emphasizing her struggle with absurdity and cosmic questions about existence. Her fantasy of becoming an assassin reveals a deep yearning for justice in an unjust world, intertwining personal grief with broader existential themes.
"The disinhibited behavior, in Nadia's case, gives voice to a suspicion that we all carry within us: there's something off about death."
"Everything feels absurd and animated by obscure cosmic forces. What Nadia doesn't know is that in Montreal, as in certain parts of Brooklyn, conventional looking-good responsibilities are often reversed."
