Strange Past (2015)
A night out at a bar turns mysterious when a stranger in a fedora calls Meredith by the wrong name - and she admits she's changed her name many times before, reinventing herself each time. Sunny, Violet, Jacosta, Pauline... What's to keep her from changing again and leaving her friends and fiance behind? Who's the odd man in the hat and why did he bring a birdcage to a bar? Does the hot bartender really exist? The group fractures, seeking answers to these questions over the course of one surreal night. A film about identity and history and what people choose to reveal to each other.
