SYNOPSIS:

A Change Of Seasons” is the type of film often referred to as a "small' movie that touches upon big issues (love, grief, isolation, Alzheimer's, aging). It is a good dramatic character piece that could find its initial audience on the festival circuit.

Rob Connelly, a 70-year-old, former New York Cop, finds himself living in two countries, straddling the border between the US and Mexico in the quickly gentrifying city of Tijuana. His bird-like perch in a modern condo sits high above the border itself and peers into the US, while he takes daily trips across the border and back for therapy sessions, group, and individuals. He is crippled with overwhelming grief due to the loss of his wife to Alzheimer’s and harbors a “Survivor’s guilt”.

His relationship with his daughter, with whom he Skypes daily, is frayed as she feels he is beyond help. Eventually, Rob attempts suicide but fails. His isolation is overwhelming until he receives a surprise visit from his eagerly adventurous 15-year-old Grandson, Mikie, who has a youthful enthusiasm for flying and has been following daily media coverage of a missing small aircraft somewhere in Mexico.

Grandfather Rob appeases his Grandson as he sets out on a mission across the Baja peninsula to find the wreckage of a missing aircraft. It becomes more of an adventure to save what remains of Rob’s life than anything than else, as his journey to assuage his guilt of surviving his wife passes the more time spent with his grandson.
