Synopsis

Jere and his wife are at odds. It's unclear what's going on, yet it is evident they're at a crossroads in their marriage and it is make or break time. When Jere escapes to the backyard for a smoke, he encounters a little boy who is seeking the perfect tree to reach the moon. As they chat, the little boy reminds Jere that he must see the forest, not the trees.
