A Lucky Man
"Based on the life of Ernie “Lastig‟ Solomon."
Synopsis
Based upon the real life story of Ernie "Lastig‟ Solomon, a legendary gangster from the violent and crime-ridden area known as the Cape Flats, a depressed peri-urban sprawl abutting the world-acclaimed city of Cape Town. Ernie Solomon is a man in search of his identity. Is he the product of his circumstances, a victim of fate, or a violent criminal destined to live on the periphery of society? Or is he a “lucky man”, one who discovers that he has to become a self-directed agent, a master of his own destiny? It explores the question of identity and morality in a society circumscribed by social engineering and by fate.
