A Short Visit

(d) Miki Benyamini

Ben (Ronald Peet), a young author in the throes of his book tour, returns to his parents' home for a short one week layover. At the behest of his mom Michelle (Dierdra McDowell), Ben's caring but much reserved father Russell (Anthony Laurent) takes his son on a day-trip to his old Brooklyn neighborhood for the day. This sojourn reveals old friends, stirs loose tucked-away memories and challenges the two to reexamine their strained intimacy, all that was left out of their relationship, and those things that can still be rediscovered.
