Experiencing Interruptions?

Uncut

The film "Uncut" takes place in exotic Sri Lanka, an island where immense wealth coexists with hopeless poverty. In the center of the plot there is the story of Andrew, a businessman from Donbass, who trades in illegal gemstones mining. Once again, going to the river, where in difficult and dangerous conditions the Sri Lankans are “washing” stones, Andrew takes his son, Philip, with him. Powerful and cynical Andrew wants to raise his son to become exactly the same as his father, but Andrew's world perception is foreign to the young boy.

After the terrible scene on the river happening right in front of little Philip, a conflict arises between Andrew and the Sri Lankan worker. As a result, the worker is fired. The loss of a job for the poor and unambitious Sri Lankan is a great tragedy, because he is the head of the large family. In the evening, the father with great manipulating skills comes to Asiri's house to fire him. He is manipulating the worker and uses this situation to make Philip act like him in the future. Though will Philip learn the lesson as his father wants? After all, children have pure, innocent, uncut souls.
