 At the end of twenty years of imprisonment, as the award for time served, a convict is sentenced to commit a crime. High Expectations gives viewers a wickedly dark, comic chance to see the U.S. Judicial System through a kaleidoscope of reversed protocols and backwards logic. Imagine being incarcerated in a local penitentiary for twenty years, without grounds or justification for your imprisonment. At the end of twenty years you appear in court... This is no ordinary trial however, as your defense attorneys are prosecuting you. Your jurors are presented with one task: to determine what crime you must commit to ensure your freedom. Welcome to the life of Karl Malnek. Karl, played by Alik Antselevich, is the forward motion in this intellectually inverted film. High Expectations offers a refreshing, albeit upside down, perspective at a time and leaves behind an undeniable impression that will stay with the viewer for a long time to come.
