Salvation

Outdoors. A man holds a mobile phone in front of him and records using the phone's camera.

Synopsis

A tenacious aspiring guru must go to extreme measures to pay off the debts he’s accrued from trying, and failing, to set up an online life-coaching business in a post-industrial Scottish town. Exploring the world of male influencer culture and how it might be affecting the young men who come into its orbit, SALVATION blends mounting tension, dark comedy and a forensic focus on its protagonist to explore the very modern story of a delusional life coach spiralling out of control.
