An introverted editor living a vertical life in his 2nd-floor apartment, always on deadline and in a rut. When Charles locks himself out of his building, he’s forced to go horizontal and confront the world he’s been avoiding in search of a way back inside.
Pam says:Writer and Director Nozkowski taps into the isolated life of Charles (Brian Tyree Henry) who, through a sees of unfortunate (or perhaps fortunate) events, finds himself discovering a whole new world. On the surface, it’s an engagingly humorous story, but beneath lies a transformative one that feels humbly profound.

Chuck says:
What begins as inspired soon devolves into silliness as the circumstances used to prolong the premise become more and more outlandish. On top of this, Henry’s schtick of being constantly flummoxed begins to grate until you come to agree with his ex-girlfriend – you come to understand why he cheated on him.
