Description
Hank O'Sullivan, a 65-year-old widower, lives a routine life, nursing his loneliness with cocktails at his favorite local bar in Austin, Texas, until a brawl with an acerbic barfly lands him in jail. The judge pities the old codger and sentences him to do community service, picking up trash beside the interstate highway alongside a 16-year-old troublemaker, Luis Delgado. Luis lives with his stern, single father in a small apartment and has remarkable artistic abilities, but his penchant for sneaking out and trespassing onto rooftops late at night lands him in community service.
These loners form an unlikely friendship in an inhospitable setting. When Hank tells Luis about his desire to drive to Houston, Texas, to reconnect with an old flame, Luis asks to tag along. Luis's estranged mother also lives in Houston, and he has been saving money for a trip, dreaming of reconnecting with her. Hank agrees, setting in motion a raucous road trip in a hot pink 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. With humor and a bit of grace, The Codger and the Sparrow is a rambunctious story about an unusual friendship stretching across the generations.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
