True Colors

A social drama about a loving father with a propensity for violence and his struggle to earn his family’s trust. In route to the supermarket, Neil (with son Charlie) picks up his wife Sharon. It is clear Sharon is bothered by Neil’s fat lip.

When Neil truthfully explains his accident, due to his shady past, Sharon does not believe him. As Neil hastily obtains the basic goods for his family in the supermarket, Sharon and Charlie wait in the car. It is here that a parallel action further reveals the thoughts and feelings of the three characters in their respective environments and how they cope with their inner conflicts.

When Charlie insists on using the bathroom, Sharon walks toward the supermarket entrance and through the window discovers Neil in an impossible situation that will potentially change their family unit forever.
