Jack, who has all but failed at life, dreams of a fresh beginning abroad. Instead, he unexpectedly has to take care of his hated father Paul, who he has not seen since childhood. Paul suffers from Alzheimer's and wants to make peace with his son while he still can. But Jack has very different plans for Paul. Two worlds collide, and a journey to Ticino, the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, turns into an odyssey back to a painfully suppressed past.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film deftly navigates the treacherous terrain between dark comedy and poignant drama, refusing easy redemption. The chemistry between the leads crackles with a toxic energy that gradually mutates under the weight of inevitability.

What lingers after the credits is a complex residue—not of absolution, but of understanding how the ghosts of yesterday shape our darkest choices. It's a quiet meditation on forgiveness that sometimes arrives far too late. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched

Claustrophobic car-ride silences broken by the falsely cheerful Ticino sun. The bitter aftertaste of espresso on an empty Alpine terrace.
