SYNOPSIS Moses, a gifted songwriter with a promising music career cut short in the 70s, faces decades of homelessness in San Francisco due to addiction. He finds solace communicating with passersby on a street corner, where he meets a Spanish film student who offers him the lead role in a narrative short film. The making of this film unexpectedly triggers a life-changing, 15-year long journey for Moses and unearths other storytellers from the past who had played a key role in Moses's quest to regain his humanity.
