Temporary

In Temporary, a young woman's workplace is the size of the world. She fills increasingly bizarre placements in the search for steadiness, connection, and something, at last, to call her own. Whether it's shining an endless closet of shoes, swabbing the deck of a pirate ship, assisting an assassin, or filling in for the Chairman of the Board, for the mythical Temporary, "there is nothing more personal than doing your job."

Temporary playfully examines both the yearning and the aimlessness that can follow anyone--and everyone--who tries to carve out a place for themselves in the world.
