At once gritty and whimsical, The Unidentified follow Estlin, a
passionate young journalist scraping by in New York City. As his
frustration with his entry-level job at a local newspaper peaks, his
disgruntled best friend, Brooke, leaves Brooklyn for Ohio. Set adrift,
Estlin falls for Sophie, an elusive artist with an optimistic view on
life. But as their romance blossoms, his high ideals and dogged pursuit
of truth come into conflict with her tightly guarded secrets. The film
is an exploration of idealism and apathy in today's youth culture and
the vestiges of the social consciousness of the 1960s. In a climactic
scene shot at a real anti-war protest in Washington D.C., Estlin must
come to terms with what has been lost, what still remains and where he
must go from here.
