HENRY'S CRIME (2011)

MALCOLM VENVILLE

Plot

Working the night shift as a toll collector on a lonely stretch of highway, Henry is a man of no ambition sleepwalking his way through life. He gets his wake-up call early one morning when he becomes an unwitting and dim witted participant in a bank heist. Rather than give up the names of the real culprits, Henry takes the fall and goes to jail and it is here that he meets the irrepressible Max, a con man who's grown comfortable with the familiarity and security of his 'idyllic' life behind bars, but also an individual who will encourage in Henry a motivation that he’s previously been bereft of... so he decides to heist the same bank he was unjustly accused of robbing. ‘Henry’s Crime’ is by turns a wry, quirky and touching human drama.
