A father who is stubborn, old, grumpy, homophobic and pushes love and kindness away from outsiders, a son who tries his best to get along with him. It seems to be a tangled, familiar and sour story. Viggo is also the screenwriter & star of the film, which focuses on "the relationship between a son and his old father is a private story": John (Mortensen) lives in Southern California with his same-sex partner Eric and adopted daughter Monica. Once, his retired farmer father Willis (Lance Henrikson) came to live with his son for a while, and the father's more traditional, family-oriented world collided with his son's world.
