In this charming and introspective film, we follow the life of Andrew Largeman, a young man who returns home to New Jersey after the death of his mother. This journey into the past is somewhat complicated: Andrew is an actor on the decline of his career and has been dealing with emotional issues, exacerbated by the medication his father, a psychiatrist, has always prescribed to him. Upon reuniting with his family and old friends, he realizes that life in his hometown is a constant reminder of his past and his unresolved feelings.
During his stay, Andrew crosses paths with Sam, an enigmatic and funny young woman who, despite her own struggles with life, brings a ray of light to Andrew's monotonous existence. Their instant and genuine connection allows them to open up to each other in ways they have never experienced before. As they navigate the madness of relationships, dreams, and the pursuit of happiness, Andrew is forced to confront his fears and face the choices he has made throughout his life.
With an exceptional cast and a nostalgic soundtrack that captures the essence of the search for identity and purpose, this film is an exciting exploration of how sometimes going back home is the first step to truly finding out who you are. At its core, it is a beautiful reminder that life is a journey filled with surprises and unexpected connections.
