420 | The day has come
Premise:
“Crash” meets “Talk to Her”.
In an emergency room the lives of four groups of people intersect and
are forever changed not by their encounter but by their mutual
appreciations for marijuana. … A Middle-Eastern female college student
has to deal with the day-to-day challenges while attempting to get her
chronic pained father to consider medicinal marijuana as a treatment.
… A preppy white male has almost reached rock bottom and attempts to
get off of hard drugs and still keep his sanity. … A young Black male
and his pregnant girlfriend try to cope with the everyday difficulties
of life in the inner city. … An Indian ER doctor decompresses after a
hard day at work, before his corporate fiancée heads off to a day full
of boring meetings. … A 30-something Latino couple survives a
near-death bout with their newborn. … This multiple storyline
narrative is not always reverent but remains a true anecdotal reveal
into the world of people who live their lives with marijuana.
