“One Percent More Humid” tells the story of two childhood friends, Catherine and Iris, that reunite for a humid New England summer, attempting to cope the shared trauma of loss from the past. As
grief and guilt starts to come between the friends, they each look for comfort in forbidden affairs - Catherine to an former crush turned enemy, and Iris to her older, married college advisor.

Writer/Director Liz W. Garcia second directorial feature (debut film was “The lifeguard” starring Kristen Bell) raises her film above solely the silent grief, but all stages and nuances that the coming of age friends share with truthful moments of the characters journey and beautiful landscape in Connecticut.
