Cenotaphs – There is no expiration date on healing a soul
Ben Sanna is a “wise, old man” known in his quaint town for adopting the role of uncertified psychologist. On what starts out as a day like any other, he meets Samantha—Sam—Becket, a hedge fund manager from the Big Apple at Hasman, Vermont’s local breakfast and lunch joint. She is provocative. She injects a power dynamic into their first encounter. Her words and body language are intended to intimidate, provoke feelings of inadequacy and spark physical attraction from Ben and his friend group. Unlike most men subjected to Sam’s litmus test, Ben holds fast, unshaken by Sam’s performance. At once, they recognize a shared similarity within themselves. Something they’re both too scared to confront. Their relationship unfolds over the course of a few weeks. They find redemption in each other’s sides in the most human of ways.
