& Sons

& Sons (15) 119min TBC

Andrew -- or A.N. Dyer, as he is known to the world -- is a famous novelist whose first novel became an instant classic and created a cult following around its elusive author. One morning, Dyer wakes up convinced he must mend the broken relationships in his life and summons his sons to be with him. It has been nearly 20 years since an incident tore apart the family. When the sons arrive, each burdened with their own struggles, Andrew reveals something so astonishing it couldn’t possibly be true -- or could it?

For two decades, Andrew hasn’t written a word -- or left his home. In that time, he fathered a child outside his marriage, lost his long-suffering wife, and grew estranged from his two older sons. The death of an old friend jolts him into confronting his mortality, compounded by his alcoholism. Summoning all his children for what may be the first and last time, Andrew draws Richard and Jamie back into the family fold, their resentment still raw. Expecting a bid for forgiveness, they instead hear a revelation about their half brother Andy Jr. that rewrites everything they thought they knew about their family.
