It's a small town near Los Angeles. The sun is going down quickly. A woman sees a burly guy sitting in a chili joint. He looks pretty down. She makes a call on her cell phone. To whom? She decides to go in and help him out. She sits near him. They talk. He threatened his wife with violence. She's been there. She tells him he must strengthen himself from the inside so that when something bad happens to him (he's been out of work for a year), he can brush it off and keep moving on. He listens. He considers what she is saying. It's the best advice he's ever gotten, he says.Then her past catches up with her.The reason why surprises him. This is another short film from JL OPEN Productions. I've already given you enough synopsis. Watch the film.
