Drama

An Irish miser, his morphine addicted wife, their debauched older son, and a gravely ill younger son. A quiet Connecticut vacation home on one foggy day in August 1912 becomes the backdrop for domestic decline.

VIBE

A suffocating, soul-baring descent into family ruin. This film feels like a long, agonizing confession, heavy with unspoken resentments and the crushing weight of addiction. It's a raw, unflinching look at the darkest corners of the human heart.
