Fences

Pittsburgh 1957. A garbage collector seethes behind a swing set he can’t afford, sparring with his ambitious wife and a son who wants to skip Sunday church for football. The yard’s collapsing fence mirrors the cracks in every relationship he tries to hold together. A freight-train monologue in a worn living room delivers more than any Sunday sermon could.
