Tench

A morally fraught psychological drama about redemption, temptation, and the impossibility of escaping one's past, told with deliberate ambiguity about a released offender's true intentions.

Jonathan, a kind-hearted young man, is released from prison due to lack of evidence. He returns to his mother who lives in a small house by the dunes. Jonathan wants to forget the past and is determined to become a different and better person. But even though he strictly adheres to the rules, his good intentions are soon put to the test when a young woman moves in next to him with her small daughter.
