SYNOPSIS

Ten year old Chris Marino lives in a blue-collar beach town house where he can be often found fishing at the waters edge.  His father John is a carpenter and his Mother Mary suffers from Schizophrenia and paints her dreams onto canvas.  When Mary’s illness leads her to violence and endangers the entire family, John has no choice but to hospitalise the woman he loves.  Unable to cope with his wife’s illness, John immerses himself day and night building a sailboat from scratch, neglecting his son and his job.  The film traces the family’s journey, from struggling to cope, to learning to accept and ultimately coming closer together through love.
