I Can Change (2016)

When his son is attacked by a herding dog in the park, Martin's seemingly harmonious family is shaken. As the father, he can merely look on helplessly, while his son records his impotence with a camcorder. A few days later Martin coincidentally runs into the dog's owner; the perfect opportunity to make amends for his feeble reaction in the park. The owner turns out to be less compliant than expected and Martin has to give in empty-handed. Later that day he attempts to find a job, with his wife tirelessly supporting the family. He mentions the incident with the dog owner, but twists the truth; a shot that turns into an own goal. He continues his losing streak during a card game with some friends, during which he is defeated by his own wife. All the while the camcorder's presence is like the Sword of Damocles. When at night the Sword inevitably falls and Martin is faced with his own impotence, he decides to go after the dog. At any cost he has to push himself to the limit, even if this requires the shedding of blood. Will he succeed in realizing his change, or will his act of heroism be sabotaged? I Can Change debunks the illusion of masculinity with dark humor and asks us who really 'herds' the modern family...
