What is It Gets Worseabout?
Ethan, Abi, and Sam are best friends from university. Though the trio considers themselves soulmates, they’re also dysfunctional roommates. A year after moving to London together, their lives are going nowhere. To make matters worse, they’re getting evicted by their landlord.
“Can they keep their friendships alive when they are dispersed across a city that seems to want them dead? Can they find a six out of ten or higher to have bad sex with? Can they get their shit together when the world is so obviously falling apart? Probably not. But they’re going to have fun trying,” the logline reads.
