About

"Happy Ending" is a short film that explores the kinship between two strangers in a city of isolation and connection. A taciturn Zamboni driver finds comfort in his work, preferring the company of his icy rink to other people. When his shift is suddenly called off one day, he grapples with his newfound freedom by following a discarded coupon to an underground massage parlor.
