All That Follows

the long version

Leonard Lessing is a jazzman taking a break. His glory days behind him, his body letting him down, he relives old gigs and feeds his media addiction during solitary days at home. Increasingly estranged from his wife Francine, who is herself mourning the sudden absence of her only daughter, Leonard has found his own safe, suburban groove. But then a news bulletin comes that threatens to change everything. A gunman has seized hostages a short drive from Lennie's house. His face leaps out of the evening news - and out of Leonard's own past... Leonard has a choice to make.
