Kresten is on the threshold of great career success. But when the death of his father takes him back to his poverty-stricken childhood home, his career plans fall apart.

An acerbically comic fable.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
With the filmmaking techniques pared to the bone, it is left to the actors to bring the scenes alive - and they do, often brilliantly.
