Being Flynn

• Drama

A deeply melancholic drama unfolds as a social worker in Boston grapples with his own fractured life while unexpectedly confronting his estranged, charismatic but deeply unreliable father, a wandering con man and aspiring poet living on the streets. The film doesn’t focus on grand gestures of reconciliation, but instead on the quiet, uncomfortable realities of a broken family dynamic – the subtle betrayals, inherited patterns of self-destruction, and the yearning for connection despite decades of disappointment. It’s a raw, contemplative exploration of inherited trauma and the complexities of forgiveness, characterized by a haunting sense of lost potential and the stark beauty found within profound loneliness, offering not easy answers but a painfully honest portrait of familial grief.
