Oscar nominees Hugh Jackman and Vanessa Kirby (Pieces of a Woman) star alongside Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Laura Dern for this family drama from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Florian Zeller (The Father), adapting his own play for the screen.
A couple of years after his parents’ divorce, 17-year-old Nicholas (Zen McGrath) no longer feels he can stay with his mother, Kate (Dern). He moves in with his father Peter (Jackman) and Peter’s new partner Beth (Kirby). Juggling work, his and Beth’s new baby, and the offer of his dream job in Washington, Peter tries to care for Nicholas as he wishes his own father had cared for him. But by reaching for the past to correct its mistakes, he loses sight of how to hold onto the Nicholas in the present.
Hopkins and Zeller previously collaborated for 2020's The Father, a film that earned both of them an Academy Award.
