Sometimes, life happens by accident.

Drama

Author Joel Garcia breaks his neck while hiking, and finds himself in a rehab center with Raymond, an exaggerating ladies man, and Bloss, a racist biker. Considerable tension builds as each character tries to deal with his new found handicap and the problems that go with it, especially Joel, whose lover Anna is having as difficult a time as he is.

VIBE

A deeply human and unflinching look at life after sudden, life-altering injury. It feels raw and honest, exploring the emotional and physical struggles of rehabilitation with a quiet intensity. A film that stays with you long after the credits roll.
