Synopsis

A woman swings open the door to a smokey pub. This is Kate, and she’s looking for someone. After navigating her way through the eclectic mix of patrons, she spots him - a teenage boy, Charlie - her son. There’s an obvious void - too long has passed between them to allow for casual conversation. As Kate and Charlie are forced to retrace their history - Kate will finally have the chance to ask the questions that have haunted her past, and will decide her future.

Program Note

What is the thinking of parents who send their children away first? Don’t they want to see them again, no matter what they have to do? Harry Holland, a director who has been consistently working on short films, is the younger brother of Tom Holland, well-known for his role as Spider Man. This short film marks the reunion of the brothers after the 2015 film Tweet. Above all, it is a delightful piece in which we can once again see Tom Holland’s delicate emotional acting, as showcased in The Impossible. (Kristin JI)
