Synopsis


Persecution tells the story of the the 35year old Daniel.
He is being pursued by a stranger he doesn’t even know, but who spies on Daniel methodically and irrupts into his life,
until the stranger declares, “You’re the love of my life.”
But Daniel has a two night a week relationship with Sonia.
She is a workaholic but gives him all she can. Not enough, anyway. Yet, he’s totally incapable of looking elsewhere.
A Story of victims and victimizer. This man who is victimized is also a victimizer of sorts. We observe, quite plainly,
the havoc his poisonous jealousy and emotional greed wreaks. Daniel is a man plagued by an all consuming concept of love.
But in the end there is a hope.
