Time Out of Mind (2014)
Set in the urban cacophony of New York City, the story begins with the mild-mannered but confused George being thrown out from an apartment by Art. Later viewers find out this apartment was not his, but rented to an evicted acquaintance, whom he calls “Sheila”. From the start, George is indigent; he claims that someone has stolen his wallet. One can only guess he had been living on the edge for a while. Several attempted telephone calls yield no help, and George is forced to sleep on the streets.
At one point, seeking warmth, he sits at a public hospital emergency room where he is approached by staff nurse Maire who treats him with compassion. Up until shortly before the end of the film, he is denying to others and himself that he is homeless, George pawns his belongings to buy liquor, later only beer. He eventually gets a bed at a homeless shelter, where he befriends the mentally unstable but friendly Dixon.
