FATHER, FATHER

A boy’s tortured desire to discover his mother’s guarded secret, and his father’s struggle to save his son's life even though the revelation might cost him his own. A brilliant and startling testament to the human condition, FATHER, FATHER delves into a whirlwind of universal emotions, and is awash with suspense and heart pounding intensity. Its edge of the seat pace and explosive ending will leave audiences breathless and in a state of shock for a long time to come.
