An old man is surprised to learn has has 19 year old daughter, who becomes embroiled in a web of vengeance and violence set against him.

I really like this movie. It might play out as too flat for most people, but for me the character was well-crafted and acted.

Like few movies, this explores age and power at its extreme.

Following the drama of several relationships, especially a serial-dater.

  • Trailer
