Argentine director Pablo Trapero has released ‘Sus hijos’, his first English-language film. Based on a novel by David Gilbert and co-written by Sarah Polley, the production marks a stylistic shift toward a chamber-piece format focused on internal character agitation.

Set in the British countryside, the story follows an unprestigious novelist struggling with alcoholism and mental decline. The protagonist attempts to reunite his estranged children to reveal a secret before his death. The film features performances by Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton.
