Sad Lunch

A man tortured by the sins in his past becomes consumed by the mistakes of his future. The balance and stability he seeks in life seems out of reach and impossible to grasp - except for a very specific 30 minute part of his day. His lunch break.

But even a “sad lunch” can offer nourishment to a broken man when he’s starving for hope.
