The Park Bench

“The Park Bench” mixes live action with vivid animation to create a whimsical tale of life, love – and literature. Emily (Nicole Hayden, “Mad Men”), a librarian-to-be, is assigned to tutor Mateo (Walter Perez, “Friday Night Lights”), a Latino undergrad, in American Literature. They meet three times a week on a park bench to discuss the classics. The conversations leads to confessions and, eventually, to revelations, like the fact that she has a pharmacist fiancée and that he is quite a Don Juan.
