Story of The Out of the Blue

A young couple found a disk in their attic. The disk was unusual with black and white photographs and sounds described by the woman as “melancholy”. She slowly begins to piece together the clues about their family secrets until she is left with one question: Where is her husband?

George Bessudo and his bride, Gina Marino, move into their new house. George is a writer and is working on his first novel. He was inspired by an old family story to write it. His grandfather had the original manuscript in his possession until the night of the fire which killed him and several others. The novel was never finished. This same event involves George’s mother, who was later institutionalized for her safety after she goes into a coma-like state. George has always wondered what happened to his father and grandfather that night.
