Shadows

By Julian Gallo

New York City, sometime in the 1990s. On his way to a Brooklyn loft party, Julio is about to spend yet another drunken evening that will forever change him. Through a series of flashbacks, childhood and adolescent memories, fever dreams, and drunken reverie, Julio reflects on his choices in life, as well as his generation’s as a whole. What had they actually achieved? His inward journey opens a Pandora’s box in which he comes face to face with himself, perhaps for the first time in his life.
