Comment
The brother of a man who is the maintainance and odd job man in a block of flats dies and so he returns home and has to take over the parental responsiblities of his brothers son. As their lives develop, the reasoning for the mans troubles are gradually revealed. The film explores the what happens to people faced with tragic events, but the main problem with the film is that none of the characters are particularly likeable or engaging.
