We join Harold on a walk where he reflects on his life and relationships, learns about himself, his love for his wife and son, regret in his past. He meets people along the way who believe in him conpassioantely and open up about their lives.
There's a twist, and I felt good for Harold at the end of the journey, although the end of the story is predictable and a little underwhelming. The neighbour, Rex, was my favourite character.
