The film follows a woman who has a chance to reflect on her life when a wormhole opens upon David Bowie’s death.
In 2016, June (Allison Tolman) and Edward (Ray Santiago) are having a disagreement about David Bowie's death and its effect on their relationship when he suddenly disappears in a flash of light. Twenty-four years later in the year 2040, June lives alone next door to friend Samuel (Jeff Perry), still mourning the loss of Edward. Since the state institutionalizes everyone after their 60th birthday and since she's nearly 60, she and her neighbor are planning to flee to Mexico to escape confinement when suddenly still-youthful Edward reappears the same way he disappeared. Will she still leave with Samuel, or stay and reunite with Edward, despite their age difference?

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
