Shirin (Desiree Akhavan) is struggling to become an ideal Persian daughter, politically correct bisexual, and hip young Brooklynite but failing miserably in her attempt at all identities. Being without a cliché to hold on to can be a lonely experience…Acceptance eludes her from all sides: her family doesn’t know she’s bisexual, and her ex-girlfriend, Maxine (Rebecca Henderson), can’t understand why she doesn’t tell them. Even the six-year-old boys in her moviemaking class are too ADD to focus on her for more than a second. Following a family announcement of her brother’s betrothal to a parentally approved Iranian prize catch, Shirin embarks on a private rebellion involving a series of pansexual escapades, while trying to decipher what went wrong with Maxine.Written, directed and starring Desiree Akhavan (The Slope, Girls), the critically-acclaimed Appropriate Behavior premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2014 and was nominated in the Independent Spirit Awards 2015.
