The Son

Peter (Hugh Jackman) is a hard-working, busy man between his job and the family he has formed with his new partner Emma (Vanessa Kirby), with whom he has just had a baby. One day, his ex-wife Kate (Lauran Dern) comes looking for him, demanding his attention. She is concerned about their teenage son, Nicholas (Zen McGrath), who is starting to get into trouble. Peter will have to handle work stress and the responsibility of being a father figure to two families who need him, while also confronting his struggles with his own father.

After the success of 'The Father', with which he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, director Florian Zeller arrives with 'The Son', a screenplay he co-writes with Christopher Hampton ('The Father', 'Atonement, Beyond Passion', 'Dangerous Liaisons') and with the producers of 'Lion' and 'The Power of the Dog'.

In addition to the four protagonists, the film features the special participation of Anthony Hopkins, who won his second Oscar under Zeller's direction in his debut feature and who in 'The Son' plays the protagonist's father. The rest of the cast includes actors and actresses Akie Kotabe, Isaura Barbé-Brown, Erick Hayden, Nancy Baldwin, George Potts, Rachel Handshaw, Shin-Fei Chen, Danielle Lewis, and George Cobell.
