Synopsis

As the youngest in the family, Sam is afraid of being left alone. He starts his own ‘aloneness training’. But by meeting the elusive Tess, who carries a big secret, he is drawn into an adventure that makes him realize you should cherish your family.

Program Note

His brother breaks his leg on vacation, but the accident leads Sam to eccentric Tess, who runs a guesthouse. She is searching for her father and asks Sam to help. Although he was practicing being alone to avoid future loneliness, these adventures with Tess give a valuable insight into the importance of family, in a cool and sensitively comic way. (Ellen Y. D.
