Overview

Logline: two queer girls cross paths in the most unlikely of places—a Brooklyn deli. What begins as an innocent spark of attraction soon spirals into a gripping tale of blurred boundaries, obsession, and the complexities of desire. Bodega unfolds as a blend of 'You' and a promising meet-cute, initially presenting the prospect of a beautiful queer love story that teeters on the edge of cliché. The narrative takes a sinister turn when Nora, in her quest for connection, becomes obsessed with Eve. How far will she go?
