A Somewhat Gentle Man
Ulrik is a somewhat gentle man. He has killed some people and crippled a few. But this sort of stuff is part of the job when working in the criminal world. Just like doing time in prison.
It's difficult to age with dignity - even for criminals. Ulrik has served a 12-year sentence for murder. Now he's out. He's in his 50´s. With no future, a family that doesn't want anything to do with him, no place to live and no job. Fortunately his old crew wants to help him. His gangster boss gets him an apartment and a job as a mechanic. The crew give him a potted plant. He is given a new start. Everyone wants to help him. Women come his way. But there's an old score that has to be settled. The man who squealed and sent him to jail has been found.
A film graduate from USA's Emerson College, Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland was awarded prizes for his commercials at all major festivals, including Cannes, before he made his feature debut in 1993 with The Last Lieutenant. He has made four more features before A Somewhat Gentle Man, which was chosen for the competition in the Berlin Film Festival in 2010. The film has been presented in more than twenty international festivals since then and won five prices.
