Friendship can grow from the unlikeliest of circumstances.
Rose is a ninety-three-year-old former ballet dancer and the last of the Eastern European Jews who fled the Nazis and formed a community in Venice Beach, California.
Nina is a thirty-six-year-old yoga teacher living in Venice during the 2008 recession.
Their lives collide after a car accident kills Rose's husband and Nina's fiancé. Wracked by grief, shame, and guilt over her perceived role in the accident, Rose attends the funeral of Nina's fiancé. Nina is also wrestling with shame and guilt because she had a terrible fight with her fiancé before his death.
After the funeral, Rose and Nina strike up an urgent, complicated friendship. Brought together by tragedy and secrets, they strive to maintain an authentic intergenerational bond while grappling with their respective demons.
Set in one of Los Angeles's most vibrant and eccentric neighborhoods, Accidental Friends tells a powerful and intriguing story of two women who help each other make important decisions about how to live-and how to die.
