A father comes home from nowhere after deserting his family for twelve years. Was he a spy? Was he in prison? The answer is not for us to know. It is strictly the relationship or lack of it with his sons that the film is about. Did he love his children and not know how to show it? Or was he a cruel man that was out to punish sons he had not seen for 12 years. The answer is all guesswork. Some stories do not always have to have a beginning, middle or end. They are trying to express a feeling tone. This was one of those films and it did an excellent job.
