On the night of Oct. 2, 2005, Hart and Dana Perry's 15-year-old son Evan jumped to his death from his New York City bedroom window. This moving film is the story, told by his filmmaker parents and others who knew him, of Evan’s life and death, and his life-long struggle with bipolar disorder.

Deeply sad and with a delicate theme, the documentary ends up focusing mainly on the depression suffered by Evan and all the consequences of the events, all in a reflective and sensitive manner. With a well-conducted development, it clearly exposes the pain experienced by the family and friends, conveying an intense emotional charge. It's a heartbreaking movie and very impactful on many levels.
