Violet Crown

Liberal Arts

Directed by Josh Radnor

Newly single and uninspired by his job in college admissions, the introverted Jesse Fisher lives with his head buried in a book. His deep nostalgia for his own alma mater in Ohio - the dining halls and dorm rooms, the parties and poetry seminars - makes him wonder if his best days are behind him. So when his favorite professor invites him back to campus to speak at his retirement dinner, Jesse jumps at the chance. Meeting Zibby - a precocious classical music-loving sophomore - awakens in Jesse long-dormant feelings of possibility and connection.

Starring Elizabeth Olsen, Josh Radnor and Richard Jenkins.
