Set in Baltimore in 1959, Diner tells of the story of a group of male, high school friends, now in their twenties, who reunite for the wedding of one of their group. The semi-autobiographical film explores the changing relationships among these friends as they become adults through what is mostly a series of vignettes rather than a traditional narrative. Much of the film is unscripted, Levinson preferring to use ad libbing to capture naturalistic camaraderie on the screen.
