The Bitter Ash

Streaming video - 1963

With a dead-end job and a potentially pregnant girlfriend jeopardizing his freedom, Des spirals into bitterness and fantasies of crime. While visiting a sick friend, he crosses paths with the similarly jaded Laurie, a young parent working to provide for her child and struggling playwright husband. Desperate to recapture a sense of vitality, the couple invites Des and a group of local beatniks over for a hedonistic party. The first feature from celebrated independent filmmaker Larry Kent.
