Fidelman’s life is turned upside down when his longtime partner in their furniture
restoration business suddenly passes away. With the business on the
edge of bankruptcy, his son Noah, who has no appreciation for antiques, is
eager to close the business, demolish the building and build a new apartment
complex. But, a mysterious stranger appears, and Fidelman sees new
possibilities for the business. The film comes alive through complex and
multi-layered characters and their relationships form the foundation of the
film. Like fine antique furniture, this film is full of subtleties and nuances to
be savored and enjoyed long after the film is over. Colorado Premiere
