Joseph Fulton, a well-regarded fifty-eight-year-old film director of romantic comedies, wants to become assistant groundskeeper at a local cemetery in his Manhattan neighborhood, desiring to work outdoors and be close to nature. Meanwhile, he thinks it’s important to have his last will and testament drawn up. But his highly dramatic actress girlfriend imagines he is dying and that he is just too brave to tell anyone. The rumor spreads and soon friends, family and neighbors crowd into his apartment to say their last farewells. A key figure of American indie film movement, Hartley’s Where to Land features veterans of his many critically acclaimed films like Edie Falco, Bill Sage, Robert John Burke and Gia Crovatin.
