Short description

Two old friends meet for dinner; as one tells anecdotes detailing his experiences, the other notices their differing worldviews.

What's left behind the scenes

The low-budget film was shot in winter in an abandoned hotel in Virginia. The filmmakers had no money for heating the building. Producers warmed themselves with brandy during filming, the crew bundled up in whatever they could, and the actors had to rely on warm underwear and the heat emitted by the lighting equipment.
