Description:

In this thought-provoking film set in 1974, we follow Sam Bicke, a man facing a series of life-altering losses that leave him struggling to find purpose and stability. His wife leaves him with their three children, his boss terminates his employment, his brother turns his back on him, and he's refused financial assistance by the bank. As Sam spirals into despair, he begins searching for someone to blame for his downward trajectory, eventually fixating on the President of the United States. With a somber tone that reflects the hopelessness of the protagonist, the film delves into themes of loss, desperation, and the search for meaning in an unforgiving world. As Sam's obsession with revenge intensifies, viewers are left questioning what drives a man to such extremes, and how society fails those who face seemingly insurmountable adversity.
