The writer Blake Morrison deals with his father Arthur’s terminal illness and imminent death. As Blake remembers everything funny, embarrassing and upsetting about his childhood and teens, he struggles to come to terms with his father, and their history of conflict.

Adapting Blake Morrison’s confessional memoir of the same name, Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie) and novelist David Nicholls delicately depict a difficult relationship between generations in this gnawing, often heartbreaking British drama. Featuring Firth, Broadbent, and a young Carey Mulligan!
