WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Stanley (Jenkins) is about to retire after spending 38 years working at a fast-food restaurant. During his final graveyard shift, he trains his replacement, young and talented writer Jevon (McGhie) whose provocative politics constantly land him in trouble. Over the course of a quiet evening, the two men spark a connection over their different paths in life…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Richard Jenkins once again shows himself to be the formidable character actor that he is, in a sweet little film about two very different but oddly similar characters over the course of a night in a fast-food kitchen.
