A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Lloyd Vogel is a talented and unscrupulous journalist who, as a rule, deals with the most high-profile investigations. He has many awards, and cynicism comes from his every breath. Lloyd's editor-in-chief decided to give him a slightly different task - for the column about heroes, you need to interview everyone's favorite children's program host Fred Rogers. Of course, the journalist is not at all eager to just talk to this gentle and soft man, but he still agreed to such an experiment in his creative career. One interview will be enough for Fred Rogers to break Lloyd's cynicism and change his outlook on life. The world is not so scary, there are real heroes in it.
