An elderly man, nearing the end of his life, reflects on precious memories. During this reflection of the past, he offers a simple invitation to all that he ever was, child, lover, savage, and coward, to join him in his final moments. As his attention scatters across his lifetime, he alienates the living that love him dearly, choosing rather, to spend his last days to himself. This seemingly lonely journey of passing, is made less so, by the re-union of his past selves, and the joy of knowing the fullness of his life.
