The Legend of the Holy Drinker
Drama
Andreas Kartak, a homeless man living under the bridges of Paris, is lent 200 francs by a stranger as long as he promises to repay it to a local church when he can afford to. Kartak is determined to pay back his debt but circumstances, and his alcoholism, forever intervene.
VIBE
A somber, existential descent into the Parisian underbelly. It's a raw, unflinching look at addiction and the elusive nature of redemption, carried by a deeply affecting performance.
