During their stay in this apartment, they gradually begin to open up to each other, and it turns out that they have a lot in common.
The hostages include a newly retired couple, a bank manager, an elderly woman who is no longer afraid of being held at gunpoint, a young couple expecting a baby, and a real estate agent. They all share their deepest secrets.
Full of humor, empathy, and wisdom, "Anxious People" is a story about the power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope—what saves us even in the most troubling times.
