Synopsis

A father and son live a reclusive lifestyle in the middle of nowhere. The man, a disillusioned mercenary, has his final target in sight - a gang of foreign revolutionaries who lay low in a nearby derelict compound. As the man closes in on his target the boy falls for the revolutionaries' serving girl. Having spent his whole life in isolation the boy now discovers the warmth of friendship and the pleasures of something more. As father and son collide the boy is sent running, running in pain and full of betrayal, straight into the twisted embittered arms of the boy's maternal grandparents, who have come to snatch and save the boy. Figuring out what is right and wrong, what is good and bad is a task for both the man and the audience.

The Conundrum The Conundrum

Director: Martin Radich

Year: 2011

The Conundrum being, Do I live life my way or do I live life their way? The start of a new dawn finds David Yohannes Reeves asking himself this very question. It is a situation that requires some thought. <br /> <br /> Day to day life often thrusts us into precarious positions; that is confrontations with unpleasant despicable people, encountering behaviour that is selfish or deliberately harmful. No matter how seemingly inconsequential and trivial this negative act is, it should be responded too. Surely? But then again, probably not. Is it really worth exacerbating this awkward and possibly stressful situation further that it might escalate into full-blown violence? Again, probably not. But never to act to correct what is wrong? Is that right too? This is the conundrum. The film is the statement. <br /> <br /> Be concerned; be concerned by a man wearing fucking antlers.
