5lbs of Pressure

Fresh out of prison after serving time for murder, Adam returns to his old neighborhood determined to find a son who has no memory of him. Haunted by guilt and the consequences of his past, he seeks connection and a chance at redemption while navigating suspicion from a community that remembers only the crime. The film charts his fragile attempts to rebuild a life as old wounds and unanswered questions slowly surface.

Eli, the brother of the man Adam killed, is consumed by the need for revenge, turning every encounter into a potential breaking point. Mike, a mutual acquaintance caught between loyalty and survival, becomes the unpredictable catalyst forcing choices that will define all their lives. Taut and emotionally charged, the movie explores themes of accountability, forgiveness, and whether a person can ever truly atone for what they’ve done.
