Lidi Mama Tells Tales

Lidi Mama Tells Tales

I remember my grandmother’s stories, who was a nurse at the mental ward of a small town hospital in Hungary. Stories about mentally ill women, who had lost contact with reality and lived their lives locked up. And yet, the delusions of these women broaden the blunt everyday village life, and transform it into something enchanting. I liked to listen to these well-known stories over and over again, but as time passes, this becomes impossible.

Based on True Events. 1875, Indian Territory: former slave Bass Reeves, is the first African-American to be deputized by the U.S. Marshal service as a federal peace officer. On his first mission, Bass charges into the desert after two outlaws and gets into a shootout where he kills one man and captures the other. Over the course of their journey back to Fort Smith, Glen questions his prisoner's choices and tries to psych him out -- a tactic that forces him to question his own mind regarding his idea of justice and choosing to fight for a law and a country that has never fought for him.

But Geiger has just stepped into an arena controlled entirely by a shadowy figure known simply as The Executive. SolarMate accountants Steve and Tim get coerced into an attempt on Geiger's life...which predictably fails. Steve and Tim escape to Brooklyn, where they're held by The Executive's people in an abandoned warehouse. Meanwhile, clandestine forces awaken to correct the situation, but will they seek to eliminate Geiger or The Executive?
