Plot
Norval's life has been, to put it mildly, difficult, he has not had a life like that of a normal boy. He currently lives at home with his mother, the young man with problems is emerging from alcohol-related struggles, something that has undoubtedly marked his life and left him sequels. Then, when he receives an unexpected letter from his separated father requesting a visit, Norval takes a bus to his father's secluded and picturesque house facing the sea, where he had never been before. Perhaps reconnecting with his father will give Norval the emotional satisfaction he has lacked and will redirect his life again. In a short time, however, he has been creating towards his father a feeling of restlessness caused by inappropriate comments and a possible excessive dependence on alcohol. Norval quickly realizes that his hope of father / son bonding is doomed, and that he may not go anywhere, but that he will end up harming him even more. Instead of a family reunion, he finds himself in a nightmare that he will have to face in a very rocambolesque way and using any possible resource.
The film is an Irish and Canadian co-production and reaches our cinemas in 2020. With the leading role in the hands of Elijah Wood, whom we all remember as Frodo in 'Lord of the Rings', we will see if he succeeds in his premiere .

Trivia
Edition
When it came time to cut the film, Timpson's desire for a "simple, linear narrative" made editor Dan Kircher's job a little easier - and a lot more fun.
Crazy idea
The origin of the movie came when Ant Timpson's father passed away, his father's partner thought it was best to bring him home after embalmment as a way to spend time with the grieving family, which the week was spent with the corpse in an open coffin. Then, people that he didn't knew came to pay their respects to his father, sharing stories of a man that does not seem like his father.
Injured
Both Ant Timpson and Elijah Wood injured themselves during filming that for awhile, Ant has to continue directing while sitting on a chair with a microphone given by the sound department along with speakers put on the camera.
