A story about one man's search... for who knows what

DramaComedy

Tommy has lost his job, his love and his life. He lives in a small apartment above the Trees Lounge, a bar which he frequents along with a few other regulars without lives. He gets a job driving an ice cream truck and ends up getting involved with the seventeen-year-old niece of his ex-girlfriend. This gets him into serious trouble with her father.

VIBE

A poignant, lived-in portrait of aimless lives swirling around a neighborhood bar. It feels like nursing a drink alone, watching the world go by with a mix of weary resignation and faint hope.
