It tells the story of Ptolemy Grey, a man suddenly left without his trusted caretaker and on the brink of sinking even deeper into a lonely dementia until he is assigned to the care of an orphaned teenager called Robyn. When Ptolemy learns about a treatment that can restore dementia-addled memories, it launches a journey toward shocking truths about the past, present and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ptolemy Grey (Samuel L. Jackson) has been all but forgotten by his family, his friends, and even by himself. Suddenly left without his grand-nephew and trusted caretaker Reggie, (Omar Benson Miller) he is on the brink of sinking even deeper into a lonely dementia, too suspicious of anyone else to allow them into his life. That is until he is assigned to the care of orphaned teenager Robyn (Dominique Fishback).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refusing to tolerate Ptolemy\u2019s hermit-like existence, Robyn challenges him to interact more with the world around him, which allows him to grasp more firmly onto his disappearing consciousness. As he begins to slowly come out of his self-imposed isolation, he is introduced to a doctor (Walton Goggins) who is touting an experimental drug that guarantees Ptolemy will regain his memories with vigor and clarity for a short amount of time. With his mind now clear, what Ptolemy discovers in his own past, in his own apartment, and in the circumstances surrounding the loss of grand-nephew is shocking enoughto spur the old man into action ensuring a legacy no one will soon forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1 1'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The_Last_Days_of_Ptolemy_Grey_Photo_010101-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-160791\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1 1'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The_Last_Days_of_Ptolemy_Grey_Photo_010203-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-160793\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1 1'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/The_Last_Days_of_Ptolemy_Grey_Photo_010110-1-1024x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-160792\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rewind-with-ellen-ep-17-video-snowfall-s5-discussion\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2022\/03\/rewind-with-ellen-ep-17-video-snowfall-s5-discussion\/\">Rewind with Ellen ep. 17 Video \u2014 \u2018Snowfall\u2019 S5 Discussion<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rewind-with-ellen-blackfilm-com-s-first-syndicated-series-deep-dives-into-black-film-and-tv-from-a-female-vs-male-perspective-hosted-by-ellen-j-wanjiru-ellenthagreat-co-host-rouget-carter-ro-ny-ca\">\u2018<strong><em>Rewind with Ellen,\u2019 blackfilm.com\u2019s&nbsp;first syndicated series, deep-dives into Black film and TV from a female vs. male perspective.
