The Rebound

In the bustling heart of New York City, a recent divorce pushes Sandy, a devoted mother of two, to trade quiet suburban routines for the relentless rhythm of urban life. The city’s constant pulse becomes both a backdrop and a catalyst, offering her a chance to rebuild while navigating the complexities of co‑parenting and the lingering sting of betrayal. Her new apartment, perched above a lively coffee house, frames a world where everyday encounters feel charged with possibility.

Across the street, Aram—a young man still untangling the remnants of a marriage that was never meant to last—finds himself working at a women’s center and pouring coffee for strangers. Though well‑educated, he drifts between roles, his future as unsettled as the city’s ever‑changing skyline. The contrast between his restless energy and Sandy’s cautious optimism creates a subtle tension that lingers in the air of the coffee shop and the center’s corridors.

When a chance interaction leads Sandy to ask Aram to look after her children, a practical arrangement slowly unfolds into a deeper connection. Their shared moments—quiet mornings, laughter over spilled milk, and the unspoken support they offer one another—hint at something more than friendship, though both remain wary of simply filling gaps left by past hurts. The film captures the delicate dance of two strangers learning to trust again, set against the backdrop of a city that never stops moving.

The tone balances the intimacy of personal renewal with the kinetic energy of an urban landscape, weaving humor, warmth, and an undercurrent of yearning. As Sandy and Aram navigate their evolving bond, the story invites viewers to wonder whether their chemistry is a fleeting rebound or the beginning of a more lasting connection, all while the city’s endless possibilities echo their own uncertain futures.
