Out and About

"Out and About"

An unconventional tale about a man coming to terms with his life over the course of an afternoon walk. Raw, brutally honest, poignant, and funny, the film explores the contrast between our inner and outer selves, the conflict between old dreams and new realities, and one man’s search for meaning as he wrestles with aging, success, failure, and his ultimate place in the world.
