Temporary Tattoo

19 min

A bittersweet, gently absurd summer snapshot that balances party chaos with quiet grief and sibling tenderness.

Directed by
Charlie Gottlieb
Genres
Drama, Comedy
Tagline
Senior Week doesn't last forever.
Overview
Twins Oakley and Ellis Garrison use their late father's ID to rent an AirBNB in Ocean City, MD for Senior Week, where high school grads celebrate childhood emancipation. When their first night spirals into a party and eviction looms, Oakley recruits local drug dealer Barton, who eerily resembles their dad, to pose as him. What starts as a desperate, psychedelic cover-up transforms into an emotional confrontation full of grief, siblinghood, and the bittersweet impermanence of youth.
