One beautiful film....

This film, directed by William Moreing, is well worth any viewer's time who wants to see an honest movie, rich with life and purpose. The director carefully ensembles a collection of beautiful stories contained in one small suburb. The film allows the viewer to glide through a closely-knit neighborhood, with permission to experience what is REALLY happening in the neighbors' backyards. Early on, it is realized that 'a special something' is absent from the characters' lives. What makes this film so extraordinary is the way in which the characters move toward something different in their lives. The film maintains the universal theme that life rarely turns out perfectly, yet offers viewers the chance to imagine what lies in store for these hard-working characters. I look forward to seeing what Moreing comes up with next.

He is certainly a talented film-maker.
