Overview
For a month, the young filmmaker Vincent Boy Kars makes all the decisions for his indecisive friend Metin. The twentysomething Metin doesn’t really know what to do with himself — planning isn’t Metin’s thing. Instead, he wants to make people think about what a successful life entails. Millennials will recognize a lot in Independent Boy, as will anyone who has ever been in their twenties.
