Inside a Pasadena coffee shop, a free-spirited artist model and a reserved astrobiologist entangle themselves in conversation...and the fabric of reality.
Forced to share a table, strangers Nancy and Spencer can't help but talk to each other, leading to a debate over the pros and cons of scientific objectivity and artistic value. While their philosophical differences are immediately apparent, they eventually discover that they have a common preoccupation: the mysteries of the universe. Each tries convincing the other that their own view is superior, but their discussion generates more questions than answers as a complicated bond forms between them-or perhaps it is just their ensnarling line of inquiry? With a tip of the private investigator's hat and a nod to Rom-Coms, along with a dash of Iranian mysticism, Free Nancy Esting celebrates the lives of two Southern California denizens- turning common stereotypes upside down with the exhilarating fact of our complicated (and yet very simple) existence.
