Robert Dupea spends his days doing various odd jobs, drinking and womanizing until an encounter with his sister makes him revisit his past.
My review · Reviewed 02/19/2026
This is a rather quiet little film that does a great job demonstrating the complexity of a man that seems to be at a crossroads. I think the scene change halfway through the movie really accentuates just how lost he is, and while the end isn't a redemption, he at least puts a foot forward.
