Private Project

4 FACES

Having served 20 years of a 25 year prison sentence for the murder of his wife, Old man regains his freedom, thanks to an early release. The first thing he wants to do is to meet the estranged members of his family for one last dinner gathering. Old man is keen to make up for the mistakes of his past and approach his new-found freedom with maturity. However, Old man sees that there is bad blood between everyone in his family and, most shocking of all, he learns that the woman he once loved has cheated on him with his closest kin. In utter despair, Old man, now 60, must decide whether to commit another murder and go back to prison, or embrace his religion, take refuge in God and abandon his family for once and for all.
