'Inside Llewyn Davis' er et komediedrama af Coen-brødrene og foregår i New York anno 1961. Sangeren Llewyn Davis er den ene halvdel af en moderat succesrig folkduo, indtil hans makker, Mike, begår selvmord. Llewyn prøver at stable en solistkarriere på benene, men det er i den grad op ad bakke. Samtidig byder Llewyns privatliv på mange udfordringer. Akut pengemangel tvinger ham til at sove på venners sofaer, og en kvindelig, gift kollega venter hans barn efter en kort affære.
Zack er skolens mest tjekkede fyr. Derfor er han dybt rystet, da hans mindst lige så tjekkede kæreste dumper ham. For at bevare sit ry som cool fyr, indgår han et væddemål med en rivaliserende kammerat. Han skal forvandle skolens mest kiksede pige til ballets dronning ved den afsluttende skolefest. Laney er dybt un-cool, fordi hun er bogligt ambitiøs og ligeglad med veninder og fyre. Og hun ignorerer Zack totalt! Med sit rygte på spil forstærker Zack sin stormkur og pludselig befinder Laney sig i Zacks lillesøsters værelse med en saks i håret og sminke i ansigtet. Da den grimme ælling bliver forvandlet til en blændende smuk svane, går det pludselig op for Zack at det er pigen og ikke væddemålet han helst vil vinde...men måske har han opdaget det for sent!

Bill Moyers and filmmaker David Grubin give viewers a rare glimpse into dancer/choreographer Bill T. Jones’s highly acclaimed dance Still/Here.

They then transform their feelings into expressive movement, which Jones incorporates into the dance performed later in the program.
