In this tender slice-of-life drama, the recently widowed Lucky (played with immense vulnerability by William Catlett) is adjusting to life as the now-primary caretaker of his son Mason, who has Down syndrome. Surrounded by grief and wanting to treat Mason to a perfect day out, Lucky decides to take him to his first baseball game at Truist Park. However, they’re a long way outside of metro Atlanta…what is meant to be a joyful day of father-son bonding turns into a day-long journey of setbacks and unexpected obstacles as they encounter various new people and places, all captured in potent black-and-white cinematography. In his feature debut, filmmaker David Fortune crafts an emotionally rich, sensitive portrait of the special bond between a devoted single father and his son. -Julia Kipnis, AFi Film Festival
