The Arrival
Synopsis
The film examines the exhilarating and uncanny experience of meeting a blood brother for the first time in adulthood. As the brothers grow closer, excited to make up for the years spent apart, they must confront the uncomfortable truths at the heart of their family.
The film is a gut-wrenching, emotional drama in the vein of titles like PAST LIVES, AFTERSUN, and ALL OF US STRANGERS.
