The Common Courtesy (2025)
After inadvertently drinking himself to death, Gabriel, a downtrodden recent college graduate, is presented with one final conversation with The Guide before he moves on. As the two discuss and recall key moments from Gabriel’s life, they share a growing, but transient bond all while Gabriel finds a peace with his end and an appreciation for the life he has lived.
