Drama

Louis, a terminally ill writer, returns home after a long absence to tell his family that he is dying.

VIBE

This is a suffocatingly tense and emotionally raw family drama, steeped in melancholic introspection. It's a claustrophobic slow-burn, exploring the crushing weight of unspoken resentments and the painful chasm of incommunicability. Expect an intimate, character-driven experience, heavy with a sense of impending finality.
