Kin

Synopsis

Frank’s life in London is uncomplicated. A game of pool, a pint and spending time with his care worker Sally are the extent of his wants. Frank's life takes a dramatic turn though when a phone-call from his estranged sister forces him back home to face a life he had long forgotten.

Kin is a film about family, care, and the distance that can grow between those who should be closest.

Dealing with issues of family responsibility that are universal to all of us, this directorial debut is a painfully touching experience.
