PlotIn a small desert town, a 90-year-old atheist named Lucky follows a routine of solitary activities. He spends his days engaging in morning yoga, visiting the local diner, grocery shopping, and frequenting a neighborhood bar where he discusses life with a group of regulars. His interactions with the town’s residents reveal his philosophical perspectives on mortality, faith, and the natural world. Despite his age and frailty, Lucky remains independent, stubbornly rejecting offers of help from friends and acquaintances.
One day, Lucky experiences a health scare that forces him to confront his own mortality. This event sparks a journey of self-exploration and contemplation, as he begins to open up emotionally to those around him. Through his conversations and reflections, he starts to find a certain peace and connection in acknowledging his place in the universe. The town’s eccentric inhabitants gradually help him come to terms with unresolved issues from his past, allowing him to approach the end of his days with a new sense of acceptance.
