Drama

In a Chicago neighborhood shaped by survival and improvisation, two unlikely companions forge a bond – only to have it unravel when a child disappears. James Azrael anchors the story as the kleptomaniac, bringing an unfiltered honesty to his performance, while Kathy Berger’s grounded presence as the hustler’s confidante adds tension and heart. Through unscripted moments and an unvarnished visual style, the film invites viewers into a compelling exploration of loyalty, loss, and the fragile nature of human bonds.

Directors: Dennis Belogorsky Actors: James Azrael, Kathy Berger, Robert Cass
