Beyond sharing a park bench in the middle of Brooklyn, what could a young, homesick teacher from Iowa and a retired Jewish mailman from New York possibly have in common? In this stirring dramatic comedy, Kelly Burke finds herself feeling alienated after following her new husband to Brooklyn for his 9-month-long research trip. Gleaning a bit of comfort in the routine and solitude of sitting on a particular park bench, Kelly is taken aback when Chaim Shotsky sits down and introduces himself. At first, Kelly listens with guarded interest as Chaim recalls a menagerie of loved ones through whom he shares his life story with her. But something about Chaim makes Kelly want to share her life with him, too. Over four days, their ongoing conversation blooms into a love song for life - a heartwarming tale of friendship, hope, survival and triumph.
