In quiet corners and chance encounters, lives touch in ways both fleeting and forever. These short films trace the delicate threads that draw us together, from a living statue’s silent longing to the echo of war softened by grace. Whether across a park bench or a prison chessboard, connection emerges where we least expect it, fragile, profound, and utterly human.
Two social isolates unexpectedly discover that a specific bench in the park has great importance to each of them. The problem? Both require full occupation of that particular bench on a specific day and time. This specific day and this specific time. And no one is willing to budge. As impossible as it seems a resolution is finally reached, both unexpected and extraordinary.
