72 HOURS: A BROOKLYN LOVE STORY tells the story of restless and ambitious 18 year-old Caesar Winslow, the leader of his crew. But 72 hours before he leaves for a prestigious university, his confidence shatters. His girlfriend breaks up with him, and the woman of his dreams won’t give him the time of day. His friends leave his corner and even the streets seem ready to sock him in the jaw. What will he do? Caesar has 72 hours to decide whether he should stay or go.
72 HOURS: A BROOKLYN LOVE STORY takes the audience through a rapidly-gentrifying borough as Caesar and his friends spend three days rambling up and down its parkways in search of the perfect ending.
