CALVET - Trailer (high-resolution) from Dominic Allan on Vimeo.

Never believe you’ve played your last hand. Jean Marc Calvet lived a dark and violent life. Then aged 38, via a terrifying trip to hell and back, he was given a second chance. On the run in Central America and haunted by his past, he shut himself away in a house and decided that death was his only way out. For nine months he suffered a terrifying metamorphosis and was saved only by a can of industrial paint. Now a successful artist with exhibitions in New York City, his work sells for tens of thousands of dollars. But in an effort to face his remaining demons head on, he must set out on a quest for redemption and return to France to find the son he abandoned over 10 years ago.
