ARC
Director, Steve Gelder, USA
Every morning, Steve and Dean meet on a bench to drink beer and discuss life while the world passes them by, literally. Steve is looking for a catalyst to bring an arc into his life, to propel him back into the arms of his wife. What could a crazy guy who shows up every morning at 9:21 possibly mean to that arc? A sweet, simple fable about love, loss, insanity and the need to communicate.
