The Screen Guide

Pat, an old man living on his own in the semi-rural outer reaches of a city, is found by a concerned neighbour unconscious on his front lawn. The house has fallen into complete disrepair, dishes piled in the kitchen, lawns at knee high and bundles of paper fighting for floor space. Since the death of his wife a year ago, Pat has not attended to a single domestic duty. Jamies's concern over the condition of the family home soon pales in significance when he discovers that his father is continuing the relationship with his mother as though she were still alive. Jamie's return to his parents's home becomes a time for unexpected lessons and a new family dynamic to be learned.
