Reflections at the Window

David Harmon has perfected the art of appearing whole while feeling empty. As a successful film executive in Los Angeles, he’s built an enviable life of professional respect and material comfort, yet exists at a careful distance from meaningful connection: functional but never vulnerable, respected but profoundly alone.

When he spots a homeless teenager through a diner window, David’s rare empathic gift floods him with the young man’s desperation and fear. Days later, their eyes meet again at a doggie daycare window where both find themselves unexpectedly in tears and finally talking.

Marcus, wary but desperate, cautiously accepts David’s help. As trust builds between them, their world expands to include Elena, David’s closest friend and keeper of his deepest grief, along with her two sons: seventeen-year-old Aiden, wrestling with his sexuality, and fourteen-year-old Noah, resistant to the changes around him.

Through a transformative summer, Marcus finds a first love, Aiden embarks on discovering himself, and Noah captures the attention of a teen actress. Throughout, David finally confronts years of profound isolation since losing his partner Michael, grief that taught him to keep everyone at arm’s length but is now challenged by the family forming around him.

A moving exploration of love across generations and the courage required to let strangers see past our carefully constructed facades. Sometimes the most profound connections happen between those who are searching for home and those ready to welcome them in.
