📖 Synopsis
Lee Chandler returns to the small coastal town of Manchester to take care of his teenage nephew following his brother's death. There, he must confront the past that forced him to leave. Kenneth Lonergan writes and directs a film about grief that rejects easy catharsis: some wounds don't heal, some damage can't be repaired.
