The film centres around a merciless professional hitman. He has the innocent look of an ordinary and caring civilian. This appearance can be used to mask his true nature - the old idiom of looks can be deceiving. The film is a representation of the Hollywood trope of ‘Lone Hitman’, similar to ‘John Wick’ as they are both assassins and also enjoy similar rich lifestyles. They are both professional and successful. I presented my main character as a man with good looks, and seemingly harmless, but he is, in reality, a cold, calculating and ruthless mercenary killer. This is seen by the close-up of the smile he had on his face to show his delight when he thought back to both his past deeds and possible future.

The film is also largely inspired by the relationship Charlie and his Grandma share, who too played in the movie.
