Glenora Crossing: During a long winter stretch in his small and familiar town, Pat O’Brien struggles to keep himself connected, inside and out. His son emerges from the basement only for duty and monotonous conversation while Pat replays scenes and conversations from his past, interprets the world outside his windows, and finds new breath for his poetry at the dining room table. Revisiting the cast of Moonlight and cadence of Jonagold, Glenora Crossing is a keen look inward at the routine that provide the illuminating moments and the disruptions that make up a life.
