Permanent Vacation
ComedyDrama
In downtown Manhattan, twentysomething Allie, whose father is not around and whose mother is institutionalized, is a big Charlie Parker fan. He almost subconsciously searches for meaning in his life and meets some idiosyncratic characters along the way.
VIBE
A hazy, dreamlike wander through a lonely Manhattan. It's a quiet, observational mood piece about a young man adrift, searching for connection amidst urban alienation, underscored by the soulful wail of a saxophone.
