Seven vignettes explore the difference between fantasy and reality, memory and history, and the joy and agony of the human condition.

A son makes a tribute documentary about his father, a once famous jazz guitarist from the Fiji Islands who gave up his career to move to America for the betterment of his family. But when the son can't help but to shed some light on some dark areas of their past, the documentary takes humorous, inventive and emotional turns, and gives great insight into the artist father-son relationship, and the crash of the American Dream.

When Charlie and his family move to a warmer climate for the sake of his father's illness, he finds himself teetering between battles of the thought of losing his father with a conflict he has with a ferocious bully at school.
