A Decent Man
Running time: 92 mins
"He will fight for a peaceful solution. Violently, if need be." With award-winning director Micha Lewinsky's (The Friend, Cinequest 2009; Will You Marry Us?, Cinequest 2010) powerful new drama, we find conflict-avoidant Thomas just wanting a relaxing holiday in the Swiss Alps. But, it's a slippery slope from the beginning. In an effort to repair his own family ties and to impress his boss, he takes his family and his employer's daughter with him. Tragedy strikes and Thomas feels responsible. Should he be his typical passive self? Or risk doing the right thing at the expense of his relationships with his family and employer? A Decent Man is a fascinating, yet realistic, exploration of a selfish man fighting for the chance to embrace the "decent man" he claims to be. - Amelia Masters
