The Convincer
An insurance agent is looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife, and escape the dismal midwestern weather.
This self-proclaimed master of duplicity believes that salesmanship is all about selling a story - all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it.
He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer, who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission: a rare violin collecting dust in the corner of the farmhouse.
His attempt to con the old man spins out of control, however, trapping him in a web of deceit and moral ambiguity. - Sundance Film Festival.
