shelf life examines intersectionality and its effect on friendships. Best friends and roommates, Cami and Maxine, are serving in a restaurant in New York City when three customers attempt to get their attention. Despite Cami feeling apprehensive, Maxine eagerly serves them without her. When Cami is unexpectedly approached by Chris, her initial hesitation fades. An insensitive question and subsequent reactions from the group ensue, ultimately causing Cami and Maxine to discuss whether their friendship can last despite their different identities.
