The dark tale of a man
...caught between ideals
...and human nature.
Is this a story about a political prisoner who is
brutally tortured and dreams of an alternative life? Or
is this a story of an ordinary man who could have been
that political prisoner?
*** WARNING - THE VIOLENCE IN THIS MOVIE CAN BE
DISTURBING ***
We intend no messages. This is not about politics or
current affairs, but about humanness - our high ideals,
humble nature, and the terrible pulls between them.
What is depicted in this movie is merely a remote concept
to many westerners, but it was an urgent matter for me
when growing up in a place with an unfortunate political
history.
Although the majority of westerners are fortunate enough
to be spared from the choices of the most dreadful kind,
we all share the same ideals and weaknesses, and we do
make our little choices everyday—when we turn the evening
news off and go for dinner, and when we have our boutique
cake despite everything happening around the world. Thus,
I propose this is a story about you and me.
As for the experience of this particular political
prisoner, I have to confess I spared myself and the
viewers from the real deal. My apologies.
