Short Stay (2016)

Mike may always be wandering but youd hardly call him a man on the move His stamping ground is modest the strip of suburbia between his moms house in New Jersey and the pizza place where he works Mikes no great conversationalist and isnt big on direction either preferring to let things happen than making them happen himself Feeding a neighbours dog bumping into a friend catching a hockey game all just different reasons to trudge along the same wintry streets unhurried ungainly alone One day opportunity knocks Mike bumps into his old school friend Mark who asks Mike to take over his walking tour job and Philadelphia apartment during his trip to Poland A change of season a change of scene a change of fortune The streets Mike now wanders through are different and the sun is shining but otherwise its the same old story new people and new encounters laced with the usual awkwardness and inertia
