Set against the rustic winter backdrop of the Colorado Western Slope, Evergreen depicts an intimate character study of an interfaith couple’s relationship over a tumultuous Christmas weekend. Paul is a modern day Catholic, whereas Gena is anything but; Paul plans to propose, while Gena desires physical intimacy and to take their relationship to the next level. When expectations clash, the two set aside their prior notions and agree to a brutally honest, no-holds-barred weekend of question-and-answer, unearthing long-buried secrets and manifestations from relationships past.
