MOVIE TRAILER

It's fair to say that life hasn't always panned out for Lutz like he might have hoped: a low-level factory job that feels like a prison sentence, a one-bathroom house shared with his wife and daughter, and a cigarette habit he can't quite kick.

As he gets ready for work in the morning, he remembers his younger days and wonders how they got so far away. He loves his family - that is never in doubt. The problem is that his responsibilities as a husband, father, and employee have meant sacrificing the dream still buried deep within him - being a poet.

Lutz pushes aside his writing as responsibilities in life shift. Over time, he begins drifting through his days only half present. But when his boss tells him he's been laid off, just as his wife has found out she's pregnant again, he's confronted with the choices he's been wrestling with for years.

Does he finally strive for something new and the life he thinks he's always imagined? Or stay and embrace his commitments to his family and find the poetry and passion in the everyday?
