a pity
a film by Kevin & Alec Barth
The accused, a ruined man and disgraced politician, has exiled himself in the wake of an unspecified scandal. Embittered and unrepentant, he spends his days alone at a former monastery on a lake. After hopeless face-offs with his pregnant daughter and estranged wife, he is inexplicably visited by a medieval crusader returning home to his own family after a failed campaign in the holy land. As the crusader and the accused share their stories, their essential difference comes into stark relief; a commiseration becomes a confrontation.
