About the Project

Summary: A proud, veteran mechanic who owns a small-town auto repair shop, hires a quiet young man to be her apprentice. When the mechanic is shown evidence by her trusted employee, that the apprentice is hiding something, she refuses to believe that she could have made a mistake. Then a sudden turn of events creates doubt and the mechanic makes an even bigger mistake that forces her to choose between serving her own pride or helping the young man. “Sal’s Auto” exposes how shame and pride causes us to miss subtle cries for help.
