Standing tall alongside classic coming-of-age films like SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE and THE 400 BLOWS, MISUNDERSTOOD is a beautiful and heartfelt exploration of the trials of life through the eyes of parents and children. John, having recently lost his wife, chooses to inform his oldest son, Andrew, but requests that he not tell Milo, his sickly younger brother. Forced to take a brave face, Andrew struggles with his impossible burden as Milo grows weaker and John’s grief blinds him to the plights of his son. With its incredible child performances and exquisite direction, MISUNDERSTOOD is a powerful rumination on family crisis and the painful weight of held secrets.
