Logline
Harold’s life is a façade – he works as a professional father figure for young men who’ve lost their dads. But to help these shattered souls heal, he must confront his own tragic loss.
Director’s Statement
This story was inspired by the feeling of loss of being stuck an ocean away from my own father during lockdowns and international travel restrictions. I wanted to tell a story about love, loss, and what it means to be family when you’ve lost your own.
