CBD Film Series
Sunday, November 24, 2019 
1:00 pm at CBD 

The multi-award film tells the story of a complicated relationship between an aging father and his son with special needs whom he abandoned while he was a child. Through the film's portrayal of a relationship full of love, rejection and co-dependency, it manages to shed some light on and question the importance of human life, human connection and if life is even possible without either one of them. 

Kindly RSVP to   Harris Chorney, or if you would like to help sponsor the film.
