He is almost twenty years old. He lives far away. Far from his family, far from him. But he comes back sometimes: family meals, Christmas, he can’t escape it… So, in silence, he watches his show: that of the perfect father, the one who doesn’t go into his little boy’s room at night to force him to do what no child should ever be forced to do with anyone, let alone his father.
This time, he’s going to speak up. He has to. For himself and for the other children. So much for the emptiness, the unhappiness, the ruined Christmas Eve, the picture of the perfect family shattered into a thousand pieces. He can no longer remain silent. But it’s not so easy to speak up, to break free from years of silence and shame, to convey his pain.
Can he do it?
