Umbrella of Damocles is a surreal dark comedy about an accidental (yet fatal) umbrella wound to the head and a friends dying wish. The film explores the duty-bound altruism of Lawrence as he becomes the adoptive father of his slain friends put-upon wife and young boy. He must chose between his 'old country' honor, which he was raised to respect, and the aloofness that has saturated his present life. Watch as he attempts to navigate through the tragicomic consequences of his actions in this wistful essay on the capriciousness of fate.
