RJ reluctantly comes to New York for his son’s wedding. “I don’t know why they have to get married. They’re young, and she’s not pregnant,” he says. In between the ceremony and the reception on Saturday afternoon, he stops by the local pub to relax and practice his speech. There, he meets Sonja, drinking champagne and reading at noon.
Adapted from a play, June Weddings explores age and loneliness, through the lens of a single father giving away his only son at the altar.
