The Son Trapped in His Mind

Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern will star in the new film "The Son" (The Son), which is directed by Florian Zeller, the director of the popular Oscar-winning film "Father Trapped in Time". It is still adapted from the play of the same name he created and co-wrote the script with Christopher Hampton. Zeller's "Family Trilogy" has now been adapted into two films. "Father" explores the emotionally devastating effects of Alzheimer's disease, while "Son" focuses on teenage depression, telling the story of Peter (Jackman) living a busy life with a new partner and newborn baby, until his ex-wife Kate (Dunn) shows up with their troubled and angry adolescent son Nicholas. Peter strives to be a better father and help his son with intimate moments of family happiness, but Nicholas' state sets the family on a dangerous path and they must do whatever it takes to maintain the bond that holds them together.
