## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

On paper, a bank clerk thwarting a robbery sounds heroic; in practice, it’s just the opening act of a very confused plot. Arvid’s newfound notoriety lands him in the crosshairs of a crime family convinced he’s hiding something valuable. Which, given the film’s trajectory, he probably is.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, raw, unhinged
