Born on July 4, 1900, John Sims has a bright future – or at least so his father believes at the time. But in fact, John leads a very average life working in a vast bullpen office in New York. He meets Mary, they marry, and they have two children – a boy and a girl. But while people around him are climbing the ladder, John is stalled in place. When fate strikes and his young daughter has a fatal accident, John breaks down completely. (Berlinale)
