Story: A middle-aged man struggles to cope with the untimely, tragic death of his beloved wife.

It was shot entirely in Houston City, USA

Shot entirely in Houston, the movie is about a middle-aged man who struggles to cope with the untimely, tragic death of his beloved wife. The surrounding needs and advances of family and friends ultimately lead him to take the most important decision of his life, taking this slice-of-life drama from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Though the film is blessed with a superb cast, Hollywood director Bob Roe has them perform with oddly uniform politeness and reserve. While such sunny formality is consistent with the script's gentle sensibilities, it precludes the naturalism needed to make the characters feel real.
