Hij heeft een paar mensen vermoord en hij heeft er een paar verminkt. Maar dat hoort bij het vak als je gangster bent. Net als gevangenisstraf. Nu komt Ulrik, na twaalf jaar, weer vrij. Met tegenzin. Buiten wacht Jensen op hem, een baas die zijn werk serieus neemt. Hij ontfermt zich over zijn mensen en heeft zijn zaakjes graag op orde. Jensen vindt het dan ook belangrijk dat Ulrik zijn rekeningen vereffent en zijn verrader vermoordt. Ulrik besluit zijn zoon op te zoeken, die inmiddels volwassen is. Een fijne jongen met een opleiding, een vriendin en een toekomst. Zijn vriendin is echter niet zo blij met de komst van haar criminele schoonvader. Daar houdt haar familie niet zo van, zij hebben namelijk wel principes. Ulrik is een vrij zachtaardige man, maar hoe zachtaardig kan hij zijn? CREW Director Producer STEIN B.

3 DIRECTOR S STATEMENT We are born. We grow up. We lose our innocence. We do some stupid things. And then we die. As we near the end we try to regain some dignity before it s too late. We seldom succeed. But we try. And look pathetic while trying. Is that embarrassing? Yes, but it s quite embarrassing to be a human being. In an age of computer exactness, human error is the only thing messing up the order of things. A SOMEWHAT GENTLE MAN is a film about our painful shortcomings, a tribute to less than perfect sex, and a worldwide campaign against the people of petty exactness that rule the world.
