The only thing darker than escape artist Ronny Roman's past is the mystical power he believes he possesses.
Never having recovered from the shock of finding his assistant/girlfriend Charlotte in a compromising position with another man, his career now consists of childrens birthday parties and his volunteer job serving alcohol to terminal patients at a Hospice.
But when he's offered one more chance at the escape of a lifetime, he is desperate to carry out the trick - but first he has to find a replacement for the assistant that broke his heart.
The first feature film from New Zealand writer/actor/director Andy Conlan.We meet and follow sympathetic and tragically flawed Ronny Roman (Conlan) a magician so badly hurt by the infidelity of his former partner and stage assistant, that he weaves a world of magical make-believe around himself - as long as he believes he's a magician with eerie dark powers, he doesn't have to face up to the pain of betrayal while he tries to get his life back on track.
I signed up to review this movie, the last reviewer is I think incorrect with his/her comments. Great acting, great story, unexpected.
