13 Conversations About One Thing - A film by Jill Sprecher

"What makes it spellbinding is director Jill Sprechers gift for the unexpected."
Karen Durbin, ELLE

"Compelling... an intriguing portrait... Arkin delivers."
Kim Linekin, EYE WEEKLY



A man approaching middle age decides to change his life. A rising young attorney`s plans are thrown into disarray as the result of a single act. A woman faces her husband`s infidelity. An envious businessman seeks revenge on a cheerful coworker and an optimistic young cleaning woman awaits a miracle. Just the ebb and flow of daily New York life: chaotic, isolated, diffuse.

Or is it? How can we know what effect we have on a passing stranger? What if the smallest gesture can change the course of someone`s life? Perhaps fate is in fact a product of the choices we make -how we choose to accept seemingly random events, whether or not we opt to see the interconnectedness of things. Perhaps, too, there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, even if we can`t see it yet.
