A TRIP TO SWADADES (2008)
A Trip to Swadades is an award-winning feature film drama that tells the story of Schweitzer Haas (Robert Swenson), a 74-year-old retired professor who returns to Philadelphia, the city of his youth, for the first time in twenty years to visit his hermit brother Ezra (Glenn Walsh). The two have never quite seen eye-to-eye, but it seems that Ezra has developed a freakish steel-trap memory, and has been keeping complex memory logs to document their past. As a result, however, Ezra's apartment is a den of bad smells and filthy living conditions. When Schweitzer goes out to get his brother cleaning supplies and gets lost in the city he once knew like the back of his hand, he is found by old friend Claude Schoonover (Stephen Hatzai), a world-class cut-up with a wisecracking but nonetheless laconic "chauffeur" Doobie (Kenneth John McGregor). Claude and Schweitzer visit a place of importance from their past: an old shvitz bath-house. It is there that Schweitzer realizes that he must reconcile with his brother before it is too late and time ultimately runs out for him.
