FROM TWO AMERICAN MASTERS COMES A MOVIE LIKE NO OTHER

Many loosely connected characters cross paths in this film, based on the stories of Raymond Carver. Waitress Doreen Piggot accidentally runs into a boy with her car.

Meanwhile, a baker starts harassing the family when they fail to pick up the boy's birthday cake.
