Synopsis

Filmed in and around Santa Monica and Venice in Southern California, EXPIRED is the first full-length feature film written and directed by acclaimed documentary and music-video director Cecilia Miniucchi. Starring Samantha Morton, Jason Patric, Teri Garr and Illeana Douglas, EXPIRED is a comedy for everyone who has ever faced the nerve-wracking decision to continue or end a love affair.

A kind-hearted meter maid in sunny Santa Monica, Claire (Samantha Morton) takes a soft touch approach to the parking offenders she writes tickets out for. Sympathetic and unpatronizing, she goes about her job in a positive, friendly way.

Her complete opposite, Jay (Jason Patric) is a brusque traffic-control officer whose job allows him the perfect outlet for his anger and frustrations, but these two colleagues feel a powerful mutual attraction. As they put aside their fears they embark on a tumultuous romantic relationship. All it will take to save them...is a little change.
