Film Description:
In London in the 1990s, Stanley, a reserved cab driver, frequents The 7th Avenue gay bar in the Soho district during his work breaks. Seemingly bewildered, memories of an earlier conflict assail him. Through flashbacks, Stanley’s discomfort and conflict over Thomas’ identity is revealed inside his cab, culminating in a tense moment in which he forcibly removes him from the vehicle. The short film concludes with an emotional reunion at The 7th Avenue, where Stanley discovers that the performer on stage is, unexpectedly, his own son.
