Ordinary World
Synopsis
Hunter, a young autistic man who has just relocated to New York City, finds himself in the middle of a hot and sweaty New York summer struggling to adjust. He retreats inward and spends his days listening to music alone and exploring his richly imaginative inner world which contains his only friend, Imaginary. One day, on a tour of a community ceramics center called The Annex, Hunter meets Marley. Hunter is immediately drawn to Marley but struggles to talk to him, let alone ask him out on a date. Imaginary knows Hunter needs, "someone special. Someone real". Hunter will ultimately have to find the courage to approach his crush on his own and find his way into a new community. This courage, as courage does, may come from the most unexpected of places in this big city.
