A Dark Sunny Afternoon

Set in jungles of Vietnam and a bucolic town in Pennsylvania, A Dark Sunny Afternoon is a psychological drama about Alfonso J. Al-Hakim who continues to be haunted by the accidental killing of an innocent peasant by his own hands decades earlier.

The dead man refuses to stay where he has fallen and continues to speak to Alfonso in an earnest voice. Alfonso tries to dismiss the dead man as a figment of his imagination, yet the dead peasant does not leave Alfonso but instead accompanies him as an acquaintance who is relentless and at times overbearing.

Twenty years later, Alfonso marries Julia Tench, an independent resolute woman. When they move to Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, the move does not bring the solace Alfonso seeks. The dead man insists Alfonso has made an error in his decision. He has to make a choice, to kill the one he loves or kill the one he needs.
