The Daughter

Keep your family close and your secrets closer.
Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill, Ewen Leslie, Odessa Young, Miranda Otto and Paul Schneider lead this family-feuding drama from Australian theatre wunderkind Simon Stone (who made his screen debut as part of 2013 anthology drama The Turning). This is an adaptation of Stone's 2011 stageplay, itself an adaptation of Ibsen's The Wild Duck.
"Christian (Schneider) returns to his family home, after a long absence, for his father Henry's lavish wedding to a much younger woman. Henry (Rush) is the owner of the local timber mill, which he is closing down, causing much hardship in the area. While home, Christian reconnects with his childhood friend Oliver (Leslie), an employee at the timber mill who is now out of a job. He begins to bond with Oliver's wife Charlotte (Otto), daughter Hedvig (Young) and father Walter (Neill) and starts piecing together a puzzle that will have devastating consequences."
