the 7th avenue

A short film by Roger Escalante

London, 1990s. Stanley, a reserved taxi driver, regularly visits the gay bar The 7th Avenue in Soho during his work breaks. Seemingly restless, he is haunted by memories of a past conflict. Through flashbacks inside his taxi, Stanley’s discomfort and inner turmoil regarding Thomas’s identity are revealed, culminating in a tense moment when he forcibly ejects him from the vehicle.
The short film concludes with an emotional reunion at The 7th Avenue, where Stanley discovers that the artist performing on stage is, unexpectedly, his own son.
