Openluchtfilmfestival Roffa Mon Amour - One of Them Days ²⁰²⁵

Dreux is pragmatic, ready to do business, and wants to get her shit together. The inseparable duo shares an apartment in L.A.’s South Central neighborhood, called “The Jungle” by locals due to its once palmy, banana-tree covered landscape, and historical reputation for criminal activity. Once Dreaux discovers that Alyssa gave their rent money to her idiot boyfriend, who wants to invest in a t-shirt line called “Cucci,” chaos starts as the two roommates enter a race against the clock to avoid eviction.

Set in a crowded L.A. apartment, messy streets, and colorful dine-ins, One of Them Days is the perfect film for a laid-back night out with your besties: a friendship-fueled chaos comedy that makes you laugh non-stop. But while the film is loaded with ridiculous, slapstick humor, the story about two Black women with no safety nets trying to make their lives work couldn’t be more timely in the current gentrification landscape going on not only in L.A. but in cities all around the world.

And that’s what makes One of Them Days more than just funny. It’s a film about community and friendship. In moments of need, the neighborhood becomes a safety net, where people look after each other and share resources, showing how often friends become your therapist, your comedian, your voice of reason. They’re the ones who help you get through “one of them days” and the ones who laugh about it with you later.
