Synopsis
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.

Customer Reviews

Great acting but boring!
One of the most boring films I have ever seen. Although I couldn't warm to most of the characters (apart from Amelia Warner who gave a very intriguing performance), the acting on the whole was quite good - was just let down by a poor story which is very slow and very boring.

extra
i was an extra for this film and i am very excited it isnow comming to DVD, the production was such fun, making the film on the set of a huge historical house suprisinigly located in bedfordshire. little Ellis Hollins ( better known as Tom from Hollyoaks) was a right terror on set but as soon as he went in the swiming pool he loved it. the film is heartwarming and emotional, whiched raises valuable questions about faily and tradition. and if u look closely you can see me in the fireworks pullback, im on th every left hehe. xxTwitchxx
