The story

Medicine for Melancholy chronicles the one-day romance of Micah (Wyatt Cenac) and Jo (Tracey Heggins), two black twenty-somethings who have a one-night stand and end up spending a full day and night together despite Jo's long-distance relationship with a wealthy white gallery owner. After a party, the characters wake up in someone else's bed and head their separate ways. Jo leaves her wallet in their shared taxi and they reconnect when he returns it to her at her apartment.
