Exemplary Behaviour

Audrius Mickevičius puts the horribly disfigured face of his murdered brother at the start of his film It is almost a meditation about the question whether a final act like murder can be atoned for in a temporal order and whether the passing of time allows the victims family to forgive Mickevičius uses the example of two lifers one of them gets married and wants to have children the other pours his whole passion into an idea of craftsmanship and a philosopher with prison experience to make that strange state of suspended life comprehensible
