The Scar

Running time: 80 mins

The games children play are not always innocent... How does one build a future on a lifetime of failure? The deepest scars are not always the most visible ones, and the one Richard carries within him has been open ever since one evening in a barn when he was a child, and his life changed forever. Thirty years later, he has returned to that same place looking for revenge. Between realism and fantasy, The Scar draws an intense psychological suspense through one man's confrontation with his past. Revenge is used as the narrative driving force, to address difficult themes such as marital violence, alcoholism, and exclusion. But rather than just drawing a moralizing picture of the main characters, The Scar presents an elaborate process of inter-cut flashbacks which reveal the paths that have brought Richard face to face with his past.
