- On a frosty day in early December, an environmental activist patrols New York's Hudson River and reveals the behind the scenes work that is done to insure polluters don't wreak havoc on our fragile ecosystem.
- Ben Taylor, a young man from a well-to-do background, arrives at Dr. Jack Kaiser's private practice early one morning. Early for his appointment, he is accosted by one of the creeps sitting with him in the waiting room. Steve Birmingham, a product of the society he is trying to leave, attempts to sell Ben a stock while sneering at the sick and elderly patients around them. When his name is called, Ben escapes the uncomfortable conversation and hastily makes his way into the inner corridors of the clinic and awaits the good doctor. Dr. Kaiser enters the examination room and is startled to see such a young patient in his midst. Since the law was passed legalizing assisted suicide, the doctor has grown accustomed to helping patience much older than the one he sees before him and tries to persuade the kid from following through with his decision to kill himself. Nevertheless, as the law states, Dr. Kaiser is unable to do anything but fulfill his patients' wishes, and so after a frustrating debate which starts to explain a little why Ben has ended up at the clinic, Dr. Kaiser finds himself staring down as a boy who is young enough to be his son, presses the red button and administers the toxins which will slowly do him in. As the light dims on Ben's world, we are taken out into the waiting room where Nurse Annette calls for the next patient on the list.
- Lucky Sevens is a film about one man's reckless attempt to make sense of his existence in the twilight of his life. Marvin Zigglebaum, a failed gambler, is a borderline recluse who has all but given up on life. When he wakes up from nostalgic dreams on his 70th birthday to find an eviction notice on his door, he intends to let nature take its course and to go on with his day as if nothing is wrong. This all changes, however, when a random glimpse in the daily newspaper leads him to the horse race section. Specifically, Marvin notices a certain horse in a certain race with whom he makes a cosmic connection and a seed is planted towards a last ditch attempt to save himself from his current situation. Interrupting his plan, however, is Marvin's longtime friend, the caring and cautious Walter, whom Marvin has grown to see as nothing more than a happy-go-lucky nuisance. Walter arrives to celebrate his dear friend's birthday and instead finds himself being whisked away to the racetrack, a place he has vowed never to return to after past experiences and hard luck. Despite Walter's best efforts, Marvin's stubbornness is too strong and he bets his petty savings on his special horse. What actually takes place at the racetrack is very different from what either man could have expected and Marvin ends up realizing much more about himself, his friendship, and the world than he could have ever intended.
