This worthwhile father-son story was shown in the cinema today as a sneak preview and will be released in cinemas in a few weeks by the new German distribution company 24 BILDER. What can you say? A little private story - seen many times and yet always convincing when it's done well.
After his wife and mother die from cancer, a father (ACADEMY AWARD nominee John HAWKES) and a son (Logan LERMAN), who have not had anything to say to each other for a long time and are extremely different, set off for Ireland. There they want to scatter the ashes of the deceased in a lake (filmed on Lough Tay / Wicklow Way - this should look familiar to fans of VIKINGS). The encounter with a young Irish woman (Sarah BOLGER, who also has a great singing performance with SJ McARDLE) leads to unexpected complications and also reveals deeper injuries in the father-son relationship...
A beautiful Irish film that, with its landscape shots, seems to have been made for the big screen. The Icelandic director Elfar ADALSTEINS composes true landscapes of the soul in his film, which was released in 2019.
Suitable for everyone who appreciates even small stories and has an idea of how complicated the relationship between father and son can be!
