Austin Film Festival 2006

Regional Premiere Ben’s absurdly straitlaced world is turned upside down when he gets a job assisting Evie, an eccentric retired actress. Vulgar, dignified, and childish all at once, Evie enters Ben's life with a cataclysmic force. Suddenly caught between two worlds, Ben starts to gravitate toward his employer's unconventional and often bizarre ways, even though it continually gets him into trouble with his mother. What follows is a journey in which Ben and Evie help each other move forward in their radically different lives as Ben is forced to confront how he was brought up and who he wants to be.
