ComedyDrama

Wallace is an efficiency expert, managing the high-profile downsizing of a major auto parts factory. But when he is hired to evaluate a small moccasin factory which seems from another era, Wallace has to reconsider the rapid modernization he advocates, as he is confronted by the human faces such plans hurt.

VIBE

A gentle, character-focused dramedy that feels like a warm, slightly melancholic hug. It’s a thoughtful look at tradition versus progress, with a quiet, observational style that lingers long after the credits roll.
