When doctor Arthur Morrison was diagnosed with terminal cancer he had only a few weeks left to live. His grown up and successful son, Blake travels to Yorkshire to stay with his mother in the village where he grew up. Blake recalls their shared experiences, the intimacies and the irritations of their relationship and questions the nature of the bond between them, articulately between a father and son.
”Anand Tucker achieves the near-impossible by delivering a movie that is as engrossing and emotionally powerful as Morrison’s book. It is a film likely to strike a chord in almost everybody”
Nick Roddick, Evening Standard
