About this movie

Chloe Gardner, a young artist, finds herself arrested after a domestic violence incident with her volatile boyfriend, Harry. Despite physical evidence and witness statements supporting her claim, New York law mandates that both parties be detained when the primary aggressor cannot be determined. The Assistant District Attorney encourages Chloe to press charges, but she refuses, prioritizing the opening night of her art gallery. As Chloe attempts to move forward, flashbacks reveal the toxic and emotionally manipulative nature of her relationship with Harry. From moments of affection and support to incidents of control and abuse, Chloe struggles with the conflicting emotions tied to their past. At her gallery opening, she refuses to sell a portrait of Harry, showcasing her lingering attachment. However, after a tense confrontation at Harry's motel room, Chloe comes to terms with the reality of their relationship. She ultimately walks away from him, reclaiming her autonomy. In a symbolic final act, she decides to sell the painting of Harry, signaling her readiness to move on from his hold over her life. A raw and emotionally charged drama, 59 Carmine St. explores the complexities of love, trauma, and self-liberation in a city that offers both dreams and disillusionment.
