Tom Patella

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
In an effort to escape his family and American upbringing, a disillusioned Will Jr. (Chris Kaminstein) embarks on a spiritual journey in Cambodia, seeking answers in the beauty of the land with the hope of living differently. Finding instead only fractional and conflicting solutions, he questions the purpose of his sabbatical and the meaning of new relationships. Meanwhile in New Jersey, his parents Will Sr and Linda struggle to understand their son's departure. The stubborn Will Sr. (Michael Herbert Johnson) cannot grasp his son¹s rejection and his health worsens as Will Jr.'s actions become more extreme and alienating. Linda, (Michelle Sims) attempts to keep the peace between the two men, but pride is powerful, despite the distance that separates.
