A visually elegant, introspective meditation on grief and the search for meaning after devastating loss, told through a single day in the life of a bereaved man.
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, is the story of a British college professor who dwells on the past and cannot see his future. We follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters ultimately lead him to decide if there is a meaning to life after the death of his long time partner, Jim.
