CGiii Comment

Families...they see the best of times, they bear the worst of times.

There is no sentimentality...just the hard facts of a life led through lies...it's a Wagnerian confession.

An intense yet dignified piece of work...a work that would put you off having children.

Rather chilling.

The(ir) Blurb...

When Frédérick, the patriarch of the Alsatian Muller family, is conspicuously absent from his son Charles' funeral, Frédérick's surviving son and his granddaughter, raw from their loss, await an explanation. Once revealed, Frédérick's reasons and the painful secret Charles harbored for years threaten the foundations of the entire family.
