June Weddings follows single father RJ (Sundance-winner Tom Noonan) into a New York City bar after the wedding of his only son, where RJ escaped to have a quiet beer and practice his reception speech. He meets Russian barfly Sonja (Obie-award winner Elzbieta Czyzewska) sipping screw-top champagne and reading Chekhov. A lifetime of hurts spill out, an intimacy is forged, and a speech nearly forgotten.
