A couple of years after his parents' divorce, 17-year-old Nicholas (Zen McGrath) no longer feels he can stay with his mother, Kate (Laura Dern). He moves in with his father Peter (Hugh Jackman) and Peter's new partner Beth (Vanessa Kirby). Juggling work, his new baby, and the offer of his dream job in Washington, Peter tries to care for Nicholas as he wishes his own father had cared for him. But by reaching for the past to correct its mistakes, he loses sight of how to hold onto the Nicholas in the present. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Florian Zeller (The Father), adapting his own play for the screen.
