​One Chicago afternoon in 1989, Barack Obama, a then-law student at Harvard University, is finally able to approach a prestigious lawyer at the office he is interning at. Her name is Michelle Robinson and, from her perspective, this is nothing but a work meeting. Bureaucratic issues, however, give place to an ice cream and a stop at the Chicago Art Institute. The portrait of two young people who combined idealism, love, and chance in one consequential afternoon not only for Michelle and Barack, but for the United States. Sundance, 2016.​
