The Education of Louis Handy

2019 | short film

Louis Handy fears he won’t be an adequate male role model for his soon-to-be child because he is no handyman. When he fails to change a blown out tire and screws up the car jack his pregnant wife Iris calls the roadside assistance. Louis, however, doesn’t give up. He walks up to the only house nearby to ask for a new set of tools. A rather strange old woman invites him in. Can she help Louis to reestablish confidence in his own manhood?
