Synopsis

  • In "Otis" Otis Carter returns to a civilian life that feels foreign after years of service and enduring unspeakable horrors in the Vietnam War as a prisoner of war. Stranded and yearning for connection, he misses his bus home but fate intervenes when a stranger and his inquisitive daughter offer him a ride. As they travel, the little girl becomes captivated by Otis, sensing the complexity behind his somber exterior, while her father, wary of Otis's quirks, maintains a cautious distance.

    Upon arriving in town, Otis finds work at a bustling café, where he encounters a group of teenage boys who tread lightly around him, unsettled by his past and unpredictable demeanor. The café serves as a microcosm of the community, where Otis grapples with the remnants of his trauma while trying to forge new relationships.

    By chance, the little girl crosses paths with him once more. Unafraid and unfiltered, her innocent curiosity sparks a unique friendship, bridging the gap between their worlds. As Otis navigates daily life through the eyes of this child, he begins to confront his demons, and in turn, he teaches her lessons about bravery, resilience, and the importance of understanding those who are different.

    In a heartwarming yet poignant journey of healing, "Otis" explores themes of connection, the struggle to find one's identity post-war, and the innocence of childhood that can illuminate the darkest places in the human soul. Through the eyes of a little girl, Otis discovers that redemption may be found in the unlikeliest of friendships, challenging both him and the community to embrace empathy and compassion.
