Whereas some families pull together in the face of tragedy, the death of Jim Ferris (Danny Huston, THE CONSTANT GARDENER) leaves his family in tatters. None is more so affected than his 10-year-old son Jack (Mark Wells, THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA - THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE), who must shoulder the considerable burden of looking after his family. When Jim's widow Alice (Jennifer Ehle, WILDE, POSSESSION) eventually remarries, Jack becomes estranged from the rest of the clan, and it isn't until his 21st birthday that they are reunited. Although time has dulled the pain, unpleasant memories resurface and threaten to overshadow the festivities. First-time writer-director Dan Wilde elicits memorable performances from a fine ensemble cast, in this beautifully realised tale of life, death, and familial discord.
