Directed by Hal Hartley • 2011 • United States
Starring D. J. Mendel, Danielle Meyer, Pallavi Sastry

This generously openhearted fable offers a glimpse of New York City through the eyes of Joe Fulton (D. J. Mendel), a guy who can fix seemingly anything. When Joe’s bank account and credit cards are temporarily frozen by the tax authorities, he must walk from Brooklyn to the Upper West Side to get a set of keys. Along the way, he can’t help himself from fixing the various problems of the strangers he meets. The only trouble is that Joe’s propensity for helping others threatens to stand in the way of realizing his own ambitions.
