Based on the incredible play that won hearts all around the world, The Father is the story of an ageing man clutching to his beautiful past when his present begins to slowly shrink. While Anthony Hopkins headlines the cast in the titular role, Academy Award winner Olivia Colman plays his caring but conflicted daughter. When faced with moving to Paris to start a new life, or staying with her dad to see him wither away, she is painfully stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Discussing what drew her to the project, Colman says, "For me, it`s always the writing that clinches it. If the script is good enough, that`s the way I`ll go.”
