This is a story about the need to hang on and the right to let go.
A man is taking a quiet stroll across a bridge in the still morning air when he is stopped by a stranger who asks him for a moment's help. The man agrees, instantly finding himself entangled in a life or death relationship with this stranger. The man must then decide whether or not he will accept responsibility for the life he holds in his hands.
Adapted from the short story, "The Bridge," by Edwin H. Friedman, the film offers a thought provoking look at the problems and solutions created by one person's need to hold on to another.
