Shovelling

Written and Directed by M.R. Horhager

Produced by Maral Mohammadian

A man is clearing his driveway one snowy winter evening. The repetitive act is meditative. His mind starts to wander. A passing car triggers a memory of his father, decades earlier, doing the same task. As the man continues this seemingly endless chore, he reflects on his relationship with his deceased father – the sacrifices made and gone unnoticed. He realizes the ones he will eventually make for his own son.
