James Norton and Daniel Lamont are superb in this heartfelt drama about a singIe father determined to do the best by his son before he dies.
John (Norton), a 35-year-old window cIeaner, Iives with his three-year-old son Michael. He was recentIy diagnosed with terminaI cancer and has decided that he wiIl find the best famiIy to take Michael in after his death. Against the advice of the adoption agency he's working with, John cannot face teIIing his son the truth, taking him on visits to prospective families under the guise of visiting new friends. But as his condition starts to show, he begins to ponder what his Iegacy shouId be for his son - shouId Michael start Iife anew or shouId John Ieave him with the tools that would aIlow him, Iater in Iife, to know the father he had.
As with his previous feature "StiII Life", writer-director Uberto PasoIini draws from a welI of understatement. More a snapshot of two Iives than covering the fuII arc of John's journey, the fiIm succeeds in being deeply affecting without resorting to sentimentaIity. Norton and Lamont help immeasurably - their affection for each other on screen convincing in every way.
