In 2020, Ben Griffiths is a blue-collar distribution and logistics manager, still nursing his wounds from a recent divorce. At a professional conference, Ben meets Melanie Harris, a woman with a "clever pick-up line:" she says Ben looks just like the man in an old black-and-white photo she has on her living room wall. Looking at a copy on her phone, he sees the resemblance, too. The conversation is interrupted, however: Ben's grandmother, Nana, is passing away. Arriving too late to say goodbye, Ben finds among his grandmother's possessions a satchel full of drawings and paintings. Unrolling a scroll, he recognizes within the painting the same location inside Melanie's photo. | | | |
