Here and Now

The film starts with a close-up of Vivienne's (Sarah Jessica Parker) trembling blue eyes. Vivienne receives a call from her manager, Ben (Common), that she is late for a rehearsal. Afterwards, Vivienne finds out from her doctor, Dr. Marianne Holt (Mary Beth Peil), that she has a terminal brain tumor. After the visit with Dr. Holt, Vivienne walks aimlessly around New York City. She receives multiple phone calls from her mother, Jeanne (Jacqueline Bisset). Vivienne finally reaches the studio and is greeted by Ben. He informs her that she has an interview right after the rehearsal. As she approaches her bandmates, she apologizes for being late. She begins hugging everyone else except the drummer, Jordan (Taylor Kinney). After the rehearsal, Jordan asks Vivienne out for coffee and is refused due to the interview. Their fingers linger on his drum set, implying they are in a romantic relationship. Afterward, Vivienne goes up to the second floor with Jordan. They begin making out passionately.
