When Gon, a playful orphaned fox, finds that young Hyoju has lost his mother, he tries to comfort him and make amends for his own earlier mischief by secretly bringing small gifts to the boy every day.

Last Call: The Shutdown of NYC Bars
A small tavern in Queens, New York becomes the meeting spot for young hopefuls who move to NYC in pursuit of their dreams, forming a bond of friendship and building a neighborhood community spot likened to “Cheers”. Everything changes as COVID-19 transforms Queens into a major hotspot in the global pandemic; Sparrow Tavern is closed and its staff are among the tens of thousands of service workers laid off across the city. Observing strict COVID protocols and using remotely operated cameras, director Johnny Sweet creates a powerful testimonial that documents the psychological impact of COVID-19 on a group of young adults working in the hospitality industry, as well as the healthcare workers tirelessly fighting the virus on the frontline.
