Hoffman

Bernard Hoffman, a lonely and cynical middle-aged businessman, uses accidentally discovered compromising material to blackmail his young secretary, Jewel, into spending a weekend with him at his apartment. Under the guise of business necessity, he isolates the girl from the outside world, creating an oppressive atmosphere of forced proximity. A psychological duel unfolds between oppressor and victim, where power, despair, and unexpected humanity intertwine within the confines of a London living room. What begins as an act of coercion gradually assumes complex, ambiguous contours.
