The Almost Man | Cinequest

Running time: 75 mins

Immaturity versus Adulthood: two will enter, one will leave. Uneasy feelings about becoming a father and adult cause Henrik to act out in hilariously inappropriate ways in this offbeat comedy. On one hand, he wants to ignore adulthood and spend time fooling around with his friends. On the other, he must grow up and make his relationship work with Tone, the mother of his unborn child. Henrik finds it nearly impossible to balance his immaturity with his responsibilities, as he lacks certain abilities needed to handle this conflict. Will Henrik be able to mature or will his relationship fall apart? The Almost Man comically tells a tale of one man's long road towards maturity, and how hard it can be for some individuals to face the prospect of growing up. - Joe Keenan Preceded by the short film: Where We Are Safe; PTP film; 6min; To escape the claws of the Bay Area's underbelly, fear-stricken youths seek shelter away from dark corners.
