Here and Now

'Here and Now' tenderly unveils self made adversities in everyday life of three friends. Artist Jo is suffering from a mental block and her canvas is still blank. Her therapist asks her to do nothing to conquer the block. But how on earth can you do nothing? Restaurateur Luke longs to do nothing as he is terrorized by his thoughts. He takes a time-out to flee the pending madness. But who is actually thinking in his head? Nothing left but fear in musician Gibsi's head as the date of her gig approaches. She'd love to escape her destiny - but if not now, when? A Dramedy set in Switzerland and vividly portrayed by a non professional gay and lesbian cast.
