96 min., United Kingdom 2021, Drama, English - Rated: PG
Director: Uberto Pasolini
James Norton and Daniel Lamont are superb in this heartfelt drama about a single father determined to do the best by his son before he dies. John (Norton), a 35-year-old window cleaner, lives with his three-year-old son Michael. He was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and has decided that he will find the best family to take Michael in after his death. Against the advice of the adoption agency, he’s working with, John cannot face telling his son the truth, taking him on visits to prospective families under the guise of visiting new friends. But how can he judge a family from a brief encounter? And does he know his own child well enough to make this choice for him? Finding the right answer may very well be his life’s biggest struggle…
As with his previous feature “Still Life”, (Shadows 2015) writer-director Uberto Pasolini draws from a well of understatement.
“Uberto Pasolini’s film takes a real-life story as his starting block and turns this tiny Northern Ireland-set tale into an almost sensory experience...” - Screen International Winner of 4 International Awards
