Title: Pith of an Orange Tree
Storyline: A recovering addict named Joe, now in his 60s, participates in art therapy sessions as part of his healing process. Despite being restrained from seeing his daughter, the emotional weight of his past mistakes surfaces when flashbacks reveal his younger years and the relationships that shaped him.
The film explores family bonds, addiction recovery, and emotional reconciliation, weaving together present-day therapy sessions, childhood memories, and musical performances by young band members as symbols of hope and transformation.
This is an excellent opportunity for aspiring actors to gain experience, perform emotionally engaging roles, and potentially have their work showcased at film festivals
