John, a terminally ill window cleaner and single father, attempts to find a new family for his 4-year-old son, Michael. As John faces the inevitability of his death, he does his best to prepare Michael. Uberto Pasolini's moving, low-key drama doesn't offer visual fireworks or dramatic twists. It tells its simple, heartbreaking story beautifully, believably, and without clichés. James Norton gives an understated lead performance.
