Il bar delle grandi speranze - The Tender Bar (2021)
Figlio unico di madre single, J.R. cresce ascoltando alla radio la voce del padre, un dj di New York che ha preso il volo prima che lui dicesse la sua prima parola. Poi anche quella voce scompare. Sarà il bar di quartiere, con l’umanità varia che lo popola, a crescerlo e farne un uomo. Appassionata e malinconicamente divertente, una grande storia di formazione e riscatto, di turbolento amore tra una madre e il suo unico figlio, ma anche l’avvincente racconto della lotta di un ragazzo per diventare uomo e un indimenticabile ritratto di come gli uomini rimangano, nel fondo del loro cuore, dei ragazzi perduti.
