About Grangeville
For his whole life Jerry has lived in Grangeville, Idaho, whilst his creative brother Arnold traveled across the Atlantic to establish himself in the artistic world. However when their mother falls ill, Arnold returns to their hometown, and the two are forced to reexamine their past through new eyes and the spirit of reconnection.
