Project Title: Son of a Gun
Brief Synopsis: "Nothing causes so much harm among people as money."
Creon - Sophocles: Antigone
Breaking out of spiritual or abject poverty can be a matter of harnessing our abilities and potential. The possibility of change is conceived at the moment of realisation of the breakthrough. The long processes that precede it can be constructive or destructive. The limitlessness of progress depends on our own limits, our freedom of choice. Continued failure to meet our real emotional needs can lead to distortion or development of our personality. As they say, "a child becomes a criminal or decent". The awakening to self-awareness of the penniless little man is no different from that of the affluent. The individual who uses his power cruelly and unjustly becomes a tyrant. He manipulates and exploits his environment to achieve his goals. But he always makes a fatal mistake. By making his life tragic for his environment, he shapes his own dramatic karma.
"Money: power, freedom, a blanket, the root of all evil and the sum of all blessings."
Carl Sandburg
Today, compassion, kindness, helpfulness, family-centredness, respect, loyalty, trustworthiness, equality, reciprocity, in short, goodness, have all but disappeared. The film depicts the spiritual poverty of the deformed, the human tyranny and the states of awakening.
"The devil stood amazed and felt the ugliness of goodness. And he
saw virtue in his form."

Project Title: How a „Son of a Gun” is Made
Brief Synopsis: Our social critique is successful when there is an overbearing disgust in the audience and the articulated, shaped, sexist nightmare breaks the general conceptions and comfort zone of the viewer. The main topic of the movie is the incorrect setting of example and habits that are allowed to be created, by the thoughts and acts of adults for children. The foremost audience of the movie are young people who think they're practicing their maturity properly and "adults" who don't take up their own responsibility in their relationships.
