Synopsis

A black-and-white video by Michael Falk featuring a father, Harry, and his son Matthew, that examines the joys and difficulties of single fatherhood and masculinity. The film shows domestic sequences of Harry caring for Matthew interjected with talking-head sequences featuring Harry speaking to what fatherhood has taught him. He talks about being more in touch with his emotions, his son’s emotional world, and how fatherhood has taught him to open up his mind to less rigid, and more expansive perspectives in the world.
