Manglehorn is about a reclusive small town locksmith named A.J. Manglehorn (Al Pacino) who has never quite recovered from losing the love of his life Clara. Fixated on her memory , he feels closer to his beloved cat than the people around him and prefers to find comfort in his work and daily routine. Still, he forges on with his tenuous human connections, maintaining intermittent contact with his son, taking misplaced pride in a former protege gone astray and establishing a cautious friendship with a kindhearted woman from the local bank (Holly Hunter). As this solitary man approaches the possibility of new love , he finds himself at a crossroads between staying mired in the past and embracing the present.
