Storyline
In the heart of NYC, James, an African American man, enters a high-end watch boutique. When he asks to try on an $11,000 watch, Matthew, the snobbish clerk, refuses, assuming James can't afford it. What ensues is a clash of prejudices and stereotypes, with James ultimately teaching Matthew a powerful lesson on dignity and respect. But can their encounter truly break the barriers of prejudice?
