One Time Screening
Masterful directorial debut from Austrian actor Karl Markovics is about a young parolee’s struggles outside of prison and trying to build a new life while being unable to deal with his guilt. The odds are against him, however: he is an uncommunicative and solitary character without a family and doesn’t seem to be fit for re-socialization.
