About the film:
Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind.
“a poetic and picturesque ode to the title city, to friendship and to the universal urge to find a place to call home.”
—Peter Howell for Toronto Star
