Original Title:

For Ellen

Finding fleeting human warmth amidst the awkward silences and unprepossessing locations, this tale of a never-has-been rocker building a relationship with his six year-old daughter is wryly witty, deeply touching and creditably played by Paul Dano and Shaylena Mandigo.

Awkward, spartan storytelling from Korean director So Yong Kim that captures the tender heart of family bonds.
