A Farewell to Youth

2 hr 0 min

JACK, once a promising film student, is now a washed-up alcoholic clinging to the remnants of his youth. His life takes an unexpected turn when LILY—the daughter he gave up for adoption after a teenage pregnancy—shows up on his doorstep, pregnant herself and looking for help. Meanwhile, Jack’s best friend and former roommate, MATTY, appears to have it all: a loving wife, EMMA, a baby on the way, and a stable future. But beneath the surface, Matty is secretly chasing a long-buried dream of becoming a stand-up comedian, risking everything as he hides it from Emma and strains their marriage. As Jack supports Lily through her own adoption journey, he’s forced to reckon with the failures of his past and discover what it truly means to be a father. At the same time, Matty must choose between the security of family life and the uncertainty of pursuing his passion. In this poignant story of friendship, family, and second chances, two men at a crossroads must confront who they are—and who they still hope to become.
