Almost every character in Stress Positions is obsessed with their own image, embodying America’s cultural anxiety of irrelevance in the face of otherness. The film takes place in Brooklyn at the beginning of the pandemic, and follows Terry (John Early) as he imposes a quarantine on himself and his nephew, Bahlul (Qaher Harhash), a 19-year-old Moroccan model.
