A man refuses all assistance from his daughter as he ages. As he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality.
Supported by his loving family, Zeller’s film breathtakingly depicts the jarring shifts in Anthony’s experience of daily life.
The Father warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant – a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.

After a series of unfortunate events, the kids find themselves inadvertently washed overboard –along with the last of the food supplies! On board a makeshift raft, they are soon joined by Jelly, a chatty, young jellyfish and the trio set sail towards their new fate. But when the raft is buffeted by a violent storm, Finny, Leah and Jelly are plunged into the depths of the ocean, and separated. Leah and Jelly are washed up onto a remote island. Finny wakes to find a strange colony of very familiar creatures all living in harmony –under the shadow of a belching volcano!
In a race against time, tide and the terrifying volcano, Finny must find his friends, reunite with his dad and save a whole colony from destruction, not to mention negotiating a peace deal on a creaking ark and teaching a cranky old-timer the meaning of ‘forgive and forget’.
