Movie description:
A powerful and riveting drama, inspired by a true story.
12-year-old Samuel lives on a deteriorating farm, isolated from the rest of the world. Samuel’s father is a paraplegic, who longs to be set free from his circumstances, is overcome by self-pity and does not have the psychological power to help himself. Samuel’s mother has been taking care of his father for such a long time that she now feels her husband is just a burden to her. Due to psychological and emotional neglect, isolation, and having to witness severe spousal abuse at home, Samuel is filled with hatred toward his parents and especially toward his dad for not having a paternal relationship with him. He knows it is hard for them, but it is hard for him too.
