Completely unHollywood.

This film is about as far away from Hollywood as one can get.

It's filmed entirely in black and white, beautiful crisp, clear images
that are highly artistic. The crispness of the film adds to the surreal--yet ultra real quality of the movie. It's how the world looks when you stay up all night (partying or otherwise) and walk into the early morning. Everything is detailed and enhanced, where your eyes see more than your mind does.

The film catalogs one "normal" man's final journey in life. His final walk comes at a time when he decides to accept a departure from his routine existence and try to connect with the unusual circumstance life has placed him in.

This movie is an artistic experience.
I promise you, this one will stay with you for a long time.
It also exemplifies one of the most difficult concepts a person must face, the fact that life owes us nothing--it is a gift,
