“In The Morning,” a film about love and its inevitable change/decline charting the emotional anatomy of several relationships over the course of one day. Friends: Ravi, Fez, Bly and Amara, gather to bid farewell to Harper and consequentially debate the loss of their youthful ideals about marriage, fidelity, and love. Lovers: Malik and Cadence, meet to end a whirlwind romance that has collapsed under the weight of fear, obligation and regrets. A couple: Zuri and Leal, sift through the remains of their broken relationship as they try to make a life altering decision. For everyone, life will be indelibly altered in the morning.
