Set a few decades ago. The serene, even joyful atmosphere, created by Mario Lanza's "Funiculì, Funiculà" and the soft lighting characterize the normal morning routine of a father and his son. This turns into tragedy as the son experiments with his first and last shave.

Mr. Bailey has come to a stage in his life where everyone around him has long left him, including his wife. To help shelter him from the pain of reality, he has his dog whom he has a strong bond with. After yet another traumatic event, Mr. Bailey reaches a turning point where he realises that embracing death might be more realistic than fearing it.
