Name This Movie

After having a shot at winning and reaching the goal a rookie athlete has been striving for on the circuit, he falls just short due to a costly mistake at the last second. He has a fight with his right-hand man saying he does not need him anymore. After this devastating failure he takes out across the country and after crashing through a fence he unexpectedly gets stranded in a little “hic” town just off a road rarely traveled anymore. He feels defeated.

While in the town he meets a older citizen who automatically notices the rookie’s driving skill. In a surprising twist, the older citizen was once an athlete in the same sport as the rookie. The retired citizen agrees to help him in his attempt to reach greatness in the sport they both love. The citizen tells the rookie that he needs to stay in town and gain some perspective before continuing the pursuit of his dream. The older citizen teaches the rookie, with unusual methods, how to become even better in his sport as well as teaching him some life lessons on how to become a better person.

While in the town, the rookie also meets a particularly beautiful girl who doesn’t quite fit in with the stetting of the old, abandoned, dusty town. He is instantly attracted to her, and is determined to spend time with her before leaving. They end up going for a ride together and looking over a cliff that shows the beautiful landscape of the town from a new perspective. The rookie and girl end up falling in love.

Spending 7 days in a small forgotten town with its sincere and simple citizens has changed him forever. The athlete has become better at his sport and, more significantly, now realizes the importance of his relationships with others.

Well yes and no. The narative actually describes the new movie Seven Days in Utopia.

Watch the trailer and see what you think. Amazing!
