In a strange monastery - with its own charter Hopkins plays the eye of a brutal chela with a heavy character, but a vulnerable and loving father who does not know what to do with his feelings of love for his son (hussars, silence), which is much more than anything he has ever felt before, and he is essentially not ready for this. In parallel, the story of his friend, whose ex-wife wants to take away the child. The main character tries to get into the problems of another family with his charter, but can not (yet) solve even his own. All this is happening against the background of clashes of feminist and misogynist practices, as well as British strikes of immigrants and other phenomena of dull reality.
It seemed to me that this film was about everyone going their own way to the Emerald City for their brains. Because life without brains is bad for you and your loved ones.
Well, here pleases the eye of the British communal girl in the face of Madame Sprout - Miriam Margulies and Stephen Fry.
