Night Bloom

In the middle of a quiet but restless night, Hazel and her father Mackie find themselves confined to their respective corners of their Bronx apartment months into the pandemic. Unable to settle into sleep or find respite, Mackie suggests they go on a drive. With no destination in mind the pair aimlessly roam the empty streets and highways of the Bronx and Manhattan sharing pockets of silence, adrenaline and eventually arriving upon a confrontation with Mackie's past.
