In Fountain Creek



In a small Nebraska town a grieving cafe owner makes an unusual request to a transient worker.



Synonpsis

Arch Larkin, a transient worker, enters a small town café and discovers no one is there. He decides to stay and soon after, Hazel Niedecker, its energetic proprietor, enters and sparks a conversation. She clearly wants him to stay and he enjoys the company. What they choose to reveal begins a dance of hiding in plain sight while desperately wanting to be seen. After receiving a phone call that brings her back to reality and the present moment, Hazel reveals a personal tragedy.

Arch’s warm attempts to console lead to an unusual request from Hazel who is fumbling through deep grief. A confounded Arch wrestles with this question and considers it carefully while Hazel surrounds herself with the love of family and friends. In Fountain Creek explores what happens when people in transition share that unique space between themselves and each other.
