Summary:

Filmmaker Linda Brown's father embodied 1960s masculinity. But when a devastating stroke leaves him vulnerable and dependent, Brown decides to confront the silence surrounding his troubled and violent past. Drawing on home movies, family photos, and interviews, she reveals secrets, uncovers lies, and explores family dynamics, gender roles and the legacy of abuse. What begins as an intimate, autobiographical story about caregiving, loss, and grief evolves into a universal look at the impact of trauma, the tragedy of mental illness and the meaning of family.
