Haro

87 minutes, 1994

Arthur Peirce's mother, Vivian, has Alzheimer's disease and is deteriorating rapidly. Overwhelmed by the changes in his mother, and unable to cope with his fears, Arthur retreats into richly-ornamented confines of his mother's condition worsens, Arthur escapes into the shop's basement into a world of poetic fantasy, abandoning his responsibilities in the shop and longing for the confort of his mother's nurse. Terminally shy and driven by denial into a realm of pure fantasy, Arthur Peirce must change. This is the story of his passage.
