Back to Lyla
Available on Philo
Mark Goldman has officially hit rock bottom. When we meet this directionless young man, he's stuck in a bleak routine, doing anything in his power to move on from his break-up to the only person that truly understands him. The one that got away. His high school sweetheart, Lyla Miller. Now, it's fair to say this isn't the real Mark. Mark is a shy, charming underdog, with a distinct gift for music, and after several months of slowly losing his identity to a dark "moving on process,” he is now receiving the only news that could actually wake him up from this grim reality: He is dying. From a pretty surreal disease, one must say. Life works in mysterious ways, and now that destiny's asking what he wants to do with the rest of his life, Mark finally seems to have an answer: He needs to say goodbye to Lyla. The thing is, he doesn't know where she is. The only people that might know are the estranged and over-the-top group of childhood friends he alienated during his break-up.
