feature documentary
Christmas Eve. With a camera in one hand and a syringe in the other, a man enters a
long-term care facility with the intention of putting his father on trial and eventually
executing him. Complications: the old man is autistic and the attendants bothersome.
Countdown: the closed-circuit proceedings last 24 hours. Progression: the avenger finally
condemns his whole family, himself included. Finale: the encounter with death ends over a
box of chocolate cookies.
