AVENUE OF THE GIANTS (U.S.A.)

July 20 @ 10:00 am to approx. 12:30 pm

 

Stephen Lang (Avatar) and Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade) star in a heartrending, Northern Californian-set cross-generational odyssey of healing and discovery, an extraordinary friendship blooms between an aging soul and a troubled girl, each bearing unspoken pains. For over 50 years, Holocaust survivor Herbert Heller (Stephen Lang), now a toy store owner, concealed his wartime memories even from his family. But as illness looms, he befriends Abbey (Elsie Fisher), a teen grappling with her own buried anguish, inspiring him to open up. By sharing their individual struggles, a path to mutual empathy unfolds, offering newfound purpose and solace. Heartfelt performances, traversing haunting historical flashbacks and the serene redwood forests, movingly capture the unbreakable human spirit, offering hope in dark times and unexpected places
