FLUSH A Short Film by Tony Angelo Across eight decades, five lifelong friends gather around a deck of cards, navigating the chaotic beauty of time, love, loss, and connection. As the years unwind backward from a quiet nursing home table to a sunlit sidewalk in childhood, FLUSH is a heartwarming, poignant celebration of a bond that never fades—and the small, timeless moments that hold a lifetime together.
