Description

24 Minutes examines an elderly man's personal capacity to deal with legacy and relationships juxtaposed with aging and death. At 77 and on the eve of the 2016 Presidential Election, Bill Benton knows full well that he does not know the meaning of life, but he is determined to live whatever life he may have left as though there are only 24 minutes remaining. The story is set in and around Lewes, Delaware. First settled in 1631, the sea and Lewes are inseparable because of proximity and because the town's existence and longevity are due to the pre-eminence of the Delaware pilots that have been navigating shipping in the Delaware Bay and River estuary since before the Revolution. Like the town, Billy has been intertwined with the sea his entire life, but his life has also been intertwined in relationships with significant women who complicate his attempts to unravel what should be important at the end of one's life, including understanding his role as a father, and as the richest man in town, understanding how to best apply the power his significant wealth provides.
