Man-Kind (2015)
One act of kindness can change everything.
This short film tells the story of Tony Vargas, a middle-class working man who has secluded himself from the world after the passing of his girlfriend. He drags himself to work and has become so withdrawn that he tries to avoid all human contact as much as possible. The one person he doesn't mind speaking with is Lucy - the waitress at his favorite Spanish restaurant. One night, Tony meets Trey (an adolescent on the verge of his own breakdown) on a New York City subway platform. Tony can see the peril that Trey is in and decides to come out of his shell to help him. This single act of kindness will change the course of these two lost souls lives forever.
