Simon Stone : 2015
Christian returns to his family home, after a long absence, for his father Henry's lavish wedding to a much younger woman. Henry is the owner of the local timber mill, which he is closing down, causing much hardship in the area. Whilst home, Christian reconnects with his childhood friend Oliver, an employee at the timber mill who is now out of a job. As he begins to bond with Oliver's wife Charlotte, daughter Hedvig and father Walter, he unearths a long-buried secret and starts piecing together a puzzle that will have devastating consequences. A heart-rending contemporary drama about two intertwined families, adapted from Ibsen's play The Wild Duck. Simon Stone's feature debut premiered in competition at Sydney Film Festival 2015, and had its North American premiere at Toronto International Film Festival 2015.
