Due to a learning disability, Josie's life in a tiny town revolves around a menial job taking care of a garage that could close at any day. Things start to change, however, when David, the son of his boss' girlfriend, comes to work with him. Josie hangs out with David and his teenage friends, bringing them beer, and despite being a grown man himself, finds that the new company lifts his spirits. But his simple-mindedness blinds him to some potential legal dangers.

VIBE

A quiet, observational drama about finding connection in unexpected places. It feels like a warm, slightly faded photograph, capturing the gentle melancholy of small-town life and the tentative hope of new friendships.
