Theres a thin line between doing the right thing and getting a front-row seat to the worst decision ever.
At least thats the premise on which the 2016 movie,Glory, is built.
The film itself is a darkly comicexploration of moralityand manipulation from directorsKristina GrozevaandPetar Valchanov.
Topping it off is the directors masterful ability to blendsocial commentarywithpure absurdity.
Its the kind of thing thatkeeps viewers wondering whos winning in the films game of moral chess.
Everyone is so absorbed in their own agenda that they instantly lose sight of the bigger picture.

In turn, this leads to thechaotic series of mishapsthat drive the films sharp comedic edge.
Its how naturally these disconnects pop up that makes these moments work.
Their contrasting motivations end up creating some hilariously awkward confrontations.
Take Tsanko, hes an earnest railway worker whose simple aim is to do right by his conscience.
In a nutshell,she sees 0s and 1s where Tsanko seesreal-life consequences.
Its this clash that ultimately becomes the stage for a myriad of comedic moments.
The series stars Keri Russell.
Instantly, and awkwardly, hes thrust into the limelight and practically robbed of a beloved heirloom.
On the surface, Tsankos struggle seemsone-dimensional the man just wants his watch back.
Its only natural to compare him to Julia since shes the perfect contrast to Tsanko.
This leaves their personal struggles minimized or ignored.
