José is an ashamed parolee who is working hard at building a new, quiet and decent life for himself out of people's view. One night, when he's working late in the repair shop, a 13 year old pregnant girl knocks on his door, close to being in labor and asking for help. Will José choose to ignore her and stay safe, or will he risk his parole and help someone in need? A moody, visual character piece, José is meant to challenge our perspectives on shame and forgiveness, as well as shedding light on how society tends to judge people and issues based on their appearance, and not understand the humans behind the actions.
