Plot

Based on three short plays by Susan Charlotte, the film follows the lives of six characters: a shoemaker and his customer, a taxi driver and his passenger, and a dyslexic director and his date.[1]

The Shoemaker

On September 11, 2001, a shoemaker (Danny Aiello) is frantic to close his shop early. A college professor with a broken sole (Judith Light) is desperate for him to keep the shop open. With the backdrop of tragedy, a pair of shoes on a shelf awaits the return of its owner, who will never return for them.
