The Beat (2003)

Description

Two Roads, One Path, For every road not taken, an alternate potential destiny exists. Following the stabbing death of his brother, aspiring rap artist Philip "Flip" Bernard is caught between two realities, each with its own irreversible consequences. Forced by his father to either get a "real" job with a steady paycheck, or pursue his goal of becoming a hip-hop rapper and survive on the streets, Flip is torn between chasing his own dream or giving in to his father's demands. In a surreal shuffling of parallel realities, Flip lives out both contrasting fates as he attempts to find music, meaning and order in his now-chaotic life.
