Bottle, Treasure, Tree

In this contemporary short film, Adam and Justin are brothers estranged by choice and by circumstance, one going through a tumultuous divorce in a land far, far away, the other trapped forever working at a convenience store in his hometown.

When they come together after the death of their mother to sort through the effects of their childhood home, they discover a forbidden bottle of whiskey and drunkenly descend into the labyrinth of their boyhood imaginations, only to learn that they may just be a bit too old to be playing with childish things.
