Synopsis by Clare Perez-Izaguirre Lopez

Jimmie (Jimmie Fails), who lives with his best friend Mont (Jonathan Majors) and Mont’s disabled dad (Danny Glover) in San Francisco, is obsessed with the idea of buying back and inhabiting his grandfather’s two-story Victorian in the Fillmore. The house was built by Jimmie’s grandfather, and he knows that with his meager earnings from working in a elderly care facility, he will never afford to buy the house, now nestled in a primarily white, affluent area. But he refuses to be phased out, regularly visiting and entering the house to dream as the city around him changes. Directed by Joe Talbot.
