Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
When Joby, an aspiring rock star, agrees to sign divorce papers with his estranged wife, he discovers that he is about to forfeit all custody of his six-year-old daughter, Ellen. Never having been in Ellen’s life before, Joby suddenly realizes that he’s not ready to lose that part of himself.
In her first time working with professional actors—Dano!—South Korea-born So Yong Kim delivers an unaffected, quietly moving portrait of estranged fatherhood, sharply tracing what the life of a fading rock star is like when no one’s looking. A tender, intimate journey through the depths of winter.
