Description
A teacher lives a lonely life, all the while struggling over his son’s custody. His life slowly gets better as he finds love and receives good news from his son, but his new luck is about to be brutally shattered by an innocent little lie.
This film is about how a child's imagination and lack of attention from parents to their child can break a human life. And all because the child did not have enough care and love in a family where everyone is busy only with themselves. The girl finds it all in kindergarten, in the person of a kindergarten teacher and a family friend. Too impressionable childish nature, early infatuation, her rejected feelings leads to tragedy. A lonely and kind-hearted elementary school teacher named Lucas turns into the main outcast in the city. Everyone who once respected him, communicated with him, turned away from him. They began to hate and despise, I obey the thirst for blood. People poured out all the negativity and their problems in life and family on an innocent man who had once been a role model.
Indeed, most of us blindly believe a long-held truth: A child cannot lie. But alas, reality shows that this is not always the case. The film teaches that you need to listen and pay attention to your child. That sometimes his words can be either fiction, or inflicted trauma and communication with the real world that is outside the family home.
The film clings to the soul, you empathize with the hero throughout the film and hope until the last that the life of the main character will still get better.
Mads Mikkelsen, as always, is great. Without him, the film would not have been so emotional and realistic.
Everyone is like sheep, they branded a man without proof.
And human stupidity
, stealing you will sin once, and accusing you of stealing you will sin ten times. And it's not about God's punishment or something religious, it's about broken lives and severe consequences. It is so easy to amuse your ego with the confidence that you are right and have found the villain, to convince yourself of this, others around, even without really understanding, to show your bloodthirsty nature, which sat deep inside and waited only for the face. And then live as if nothing had happened and pretend that nothing had happened. As if not so
But in life it's completely different. Take the case of Cicatillo. They accused and condemned a man who was not involved in this, BUT he already had a sin in his life. So if you translate it into reality, it's all scary.
Mads Mikkelsen did an amazing job with his role, you watch and empathize with him every minute.
