Minden Rendben

Growing Down
Perspectives 2025
The promise of love and family has returned to Sándor, a widower, and his young son when an incident occurs that upends his new life. Sándor is the only witness to a serious accident involving his stepdaughter and his son. Now he faces a dilemma: should he tell the truth and live with the consequences? Or lie and save his son from juvenile detention? Familial bonds and personal character are tested as an investigation ensues that calls into question Sándor’s virtue and strains the close relationships that he has built with his family.
