This short film has stayed with me since the day I saw it over 10 years ago:
An intimate portrayal of desperate men doing desperate things.Their aim? Simply; to live! This film boasts a performance by John Hurt, so "real" that it literally "hurts"(the man is a master)and the passionate, moving and utterley memorable talent of David Thewlis (playing the part of frustration personified!). Thank you, to all involved in this movies' creation. It is an experience that I will always have the pleasure of having had.
