Synopsis
Thinking he is doing what is best, eight-year-old Lea’s father Michael has made a rash decision. When he picks his daughter up, as he does every other weekend, he seems stressed and it’s clear that something is not quite right. After a pleasant afternoon of bumper cars and buying toys, Michael puts his plan into action, but things go awry and he finds himself in a heartbreaking showdown in this tense, brilliantly acted consideration of the impact of a broken home.
