St. Vincent

Nobody could ever have imagined that there was anything remotely saintly about Vincent Canatella. This aged man is more like a crotchety old fart: He visits whores, blasphemes and gambles. When recently divorced Maggie moves into the house next door with her twelve-year-old son Oliver, Vincent’s life suddenly takes on a new direction. Having lost again on the horses, he offers the single mother his services – as a babysitter. And Vincent’s child-rearing skills are, of course, exemplary: He teaches the child everything he knows about getting on in life. This also includes introducing Oliver to the art of self-defense, which he puts to good use protecting himself from the aggressions of his fellow pupils... Two male souls blossom and the question has to be asked: Could Vincent truly have what it takes to be a saint?
