Shorts Program 4: Come Together

Short Program 4 Come Toge

Running time: 109 mins

The intricate ties that link family, friends, and communities weave through this series of compelling films. A young man returns to Vietnam decades after he left the country, to retrieve a reminder of his brother. In another, a young girl gets some unexpected help trying to track down her father and a simple photograph transforms a not-so-swift construction worker?s life. Stretching from a Midwest gothic tale to a rock-ribbed farming family gathering for a funeral, to a story of a repair shop owner looking for a reliable employee, these films possess a strength that relies on emotional truths instead of relentless action.
