Eric Nazarian's ensemble film The Blue Hour follows the interactions of a number of citizens of Los Angeles, using that city's river as the connective tissue for the disparate people. Among the characters are Happy, a graffiti artist accosted by a homeless man named Sal; a married couple having serious trouble coming to terms with the death of their young daughter; an ambitious would be bluesman; and a recently widowed retiree. Each of these people has contact with a handful of others, knowingly or not having an impact on their dreams, fears, and hopes.
