Pit Stop (2013)

"Pit Stop" means a small gas station. Such locations are often scattered on America's inland interstate highways. People pass by, refuel, order a cup of coffee, have a cigarette, make a short stop and move on. For local comrades, this is also the place where they want to wander. The folkways of the small town are relatively conservative, but these comrades can successfully integrate into the surrounding environment, working, falling in love and living with the same true temperament as white-collar workers in big cities. The protagonists Gabe (Bill Heck) and Ernesto (Marcus DeAnda) are both blue-collar workers who live under the same roof as their predecessors and are looking for something at a loss. Although Gabe and his wife Shannon (Amy Seimetz) are divorced, they are still friends because of their 6-year-old daughter. Ernesto goes to the hospital every week to read newspapers to her unconscious ex-boyfriend, hoping each other will wake up. The film tells the story of the two people's lives in parallel in a quiet rhythm, until their lives begin to cross because of an one-night stand at a small gas station. "people come, people go" is another warm literary sketch brought by Chinese director Chen Junyan after "Hello, good-bye". The director will.
