He is reserved, shy and often depressed – and alcoholic. He just doesn’t know. Benjamin Foster is two people. During the day he obediently pursues his studies and maintains a secret relationship with a married woman, and at night he drinks and thrives in the pub. Then he feels like the greatest while the others take advantage of him and kid him.
When his secret girlfriend becomes pregnant and Benjamin is diagnosed as having a mental illness, his alcohol addiction comes out and he loses everything. Left alone, he stands in front of the mess of his life.
It is only when he meets little Crystal that Benjamin seems to gain courage. The girl is like a daughter to him. Crystal has different problems than him, but just as difficult a life. When he was allowed to sponsor her, Benjamin finally stopped drinking and turned his back on alcohol forever.
The friendship between the two has grown over the years, and he trusts her more and more. The moments when the urge to drink again increases persist, but Benjamin wants to fight. One day, however, Crystal manages to elicit the real reason for his years of drinking from Benjamin – the images from his past that he does not want to see and had hoped to forget forever …
BENJAMIN – WHERE THE FOG FIELDS END is a stirring drama by Elias J. Connor („In the Shadow of Darkness“) about the life of an alcoholic in search of his end station. A story of friendship, ups and downs in life and a terrible, unspeakable childhood trauma.
