Father’s Day

Collaboration

Set against the backdrop of the 1980s AIDS crisis, Father’s Day is a tender and heartbreaking period drama about love, legacy, and letting go. Chris, carrying the weight of a secret HIV diagnosis, takes his young son Freddy on a sunrise outing—one final chance to share life lessons, laughter, and quiet moments before stepping away from the family. With the looming silence of what’s unspoken, the film explores the fragility of time, the strength of paternal love, and the quiet courage it takes to say goodbye.
