Real-life father and son Gerard Depardieu and Guillaume Depardieu star in this almost too-close-for-comfort drama about fame and a dysfunctional family. Paul is a menacing yet sympathetic twenty-something drifter who has lived his life in the shadow of Leo, his emotionally distant father. Leo is a celebrated novelist who has just won a Nobel Prize. In a moment of desperation, Paul abducts Leo and tries to connect with him as they travel the English countryside. A Loving Father traces the complexities of family dynamics in this bitterly funny tale. (official distributor synopsis)
