Marlene

In this electrifying psychological drama, two veterans readjusting to civilian life find their friendship tested when ugly truths come to light. Yemen. Iraq. Afghanistan. After returning from combat to a quiet garrison town, Dan and Richard struggle in their different ways to regain a sense of normality. Dan, desperate to prove to his bourgeois neighbors that he isn`t the violent, unstable veteran they`d expect, sticks to a rigorous routine and keeps his head down. Richard, on the other hand, doesn`t resist his impulses, repeatedly flouting the law and spending money he doesn`t have. All the while, his home life is gradually falling apart--unbeknownst to him, his wife has been having an affair, and his teenaged daughter is becoming increasingly distant and even hostile. The arrival of Richard`s sister-in-law, Marlene--a woman with a reputation for sleeping around and bringing bad luck wherever she goes--threatens to destroy what little peace the two men have, calling into question their seemingly unbreakable bond.
