Duncan Cowles’s debut documentary courageously explores men's mental health, revealing how the silence around emotions can prevent genuine connection and personal healing.
The film vividly illustrates that Cowles's taciturnity stems from the silence surrounding his father's alcoholism, reflecting how familial dynamics shape emotional expression.
Interviewees, like John, reveal the deep consequences of suppressed emotions; John's refusal to disclose his cancer diagnosis nearly destroyed his relationships and well-being.
The recurring theme in the film is the pressure on fathers to embody stoicism for their children, perpetuating a cycle of emotional repression.
