About
An elderly painter wakes up in a wooden boat in the middle of the sea with no memory of who he is. The only thing he has in him is a letter he has yet to open to read. “Stand By Me” explores the depth of human connection, the fragility of memory, and the extraordinary courage it takes to love unconditionally in the face of an ever-changing reality.
