Trailer for Radiator, which screened at Palm Springs International Film Festival.
A middle-aged son is summoned to a fabulously disheveled stone cottage in the Lake District where his cantankerous, declining father refuses to leave his couch, and his docile, long-suffering mother turns to her son for help. What happens when children become their parents’ parent, and parents become their child’s child? Tom Browne’s moving, poetic and darkly funny first film is set in the ramshackle home that belonged to his own parents, and its roots in autobiography can be felt in every wonderfully honest, eccentric detail.
