Story:
Amazon Prime’s period romantic drama written and directed by Eugene Ashe. Set in 1950s New York, the story centers on Sylvie (Tessa Thompson), who dreams of a career in television and spends her summer days helping in her father’s record store, and Robert (Nnamdi Asomugha), a saxophonist, who spends late nights playing as a member of a jazz quartet. When Robert takes a part-time job at the record store, the two begin a friendship that sparks a deep passion in each of them unlike anything they have felt before. But as the summer winds down, life takes them in different directions, bringing their relationship to an end. Years pass, and in a chance meeting, Sylvie and Robert cross paths again, only to find that while their lives have changed, their feelings for each other remain the same.
