Drink My Life

Steini is a recovering alcoholic who went on the wagon when his son was born. He has to hold down two jobs to make ends meet to be able to support his family. At the same time, he neglects himself and his needs, not being big on addressing issues and talking about his emotions. As a consequence, Steini has become an extra in his own life. When fate intervenes, and he loses one of his jobs, he gets entangled in a dance with a dangerous partner.
