Mike

A quiet suburban street where the only sound is the hum of a lawnmower. Mike, a man in his late forties, has perfected the art of doing nothing. His days are a comfortable loop of minor chores and major procrastination, until a letter from his estranged daughter arrives, demanding a presence he’s spent years avoiding. This 2011 comedy-drama finds humor in the quiet desperation of middle age, as a man’s carefully constructed inertia is challenged by the one obligation he can't ignore. The path forward is paved with awkward silences, half-hearted attempts, and the slow, painful grace of showing up.
