The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBobby drops in on his father and immediately runs into an awkward truth: his marriage is falling apart. The two men circle around the subject with small talk about work, family, and a strangely serious conversation about the color orange. Beneath the clumsy pauses is a rare attempt at connection. The scene ends with a quiet suggestion that taking life for granted may be exactly what has to change.
