Duck Butter

In the quirky, vibrant world of “Duck Butter,” two disillusioned young women—Naomi, a free-spirited artist, and Elena, a pragmatic software developer—find themselves at a crossroads in life and love. When they meet during a chance encounter at an underground art show in Los Angeles, their contrasting personalities clash instantaneously, leading to both tension and unexpected chemistry.

Fed up with the predictability of dating, Elena proposes an unconventional experiment: they will spend 24 hours together, engaging in unfiltered honesty and intimacy, to explore the raw nature of human connection without the conventional barriers of modern romantic endeavors. With a mutual agreement to shed their previous experiences, they embark on an emotional journey that challenges their perceptions of vulnerability, friendship, and love itself.

As they navigate the city, from bustling food markets to hidden rooftop gardens, the time they spend together reveals layers of complexity in their personalities. Naomi’s whimsical, often reckless outlook on life contrasts sharply with Elena’s methodical, sometimes guarded demeanor. Yet, as they dive deeper into their truth, they confront their insecurities, reveal hidden desires, and explore the intricacies that shape their identities.

The pair soon find themselves caught in a whirlwind of laughter, tears, and unexpected sparks, making their connection more potent as the clock ticks down. However, the intensity of their experience poses serious questions about what it truly means to connect with someone in a world that often prioritizes surface-level interactions. As they grapple with moments of clarity and confusion, they are forced to reckon with their feelings and the inevitable return to their lives after the experiment ends.

“Duck Butter” is a vibrant exploration of modern relationships, infused with humor and poignancy. Through stunning cinematography and eclectic soundtracks, it paints an authentic portrayal of the struggles of intimacy in a world filled with distractions. Naomi and Elena’s journey is not just about discovering each other, but also about discovering themselves—an exploration of the messy, unpredictable nature of love and the beauty that lies within it.
