Plot
Written by Gustaaf Peek, Son of Mine is set in a community that became economically unstable when the mines were closed. The protagonist, Lei, is a former miner who lives off hunting and petty crime. In one of the first scenes in the movie Lei parks his car, gets out and shoots his shogun in the air and calls out for his son, Jeffrey.
Like his father, Jeffrey grows up to be a criminal, but his schemes become more and more risky. At one point in the movie, the father and son roles are reversed when Jeffrey takes on his father's debt with a local gangster. [3]
