DEATHBED: A FEW LAST WORDS FROM ACROSS THE ROOM
By Aggi Dilimanto

GENRE: Family, Drama
LOGLINE:

Upon receiving news that his father is on a deathbed, a boy returns to his homeland to forgive and apologize, so that he could get closure to their relationship. Unfortunately, the trauma that had been buried for years made him lose control of his emotions in front of his bed-ridden father's body.

SYNOPSIS:

Here comes Anton, a twenty-something boy with his head down. With his jacket on, he received an embrace from his mom. Something he never got for many years. It feels lovely yet strange and restraining.

Anton just got back from where he lives now with his beloved husband whom none of Anton's parents approve of, the United States.

His family wants him to ask for forgiveness from his dad, for being disobedient and hurting his feelings all these years, with a thought of revenge on the back of Anton's mind.

All these years, he has to live off alone after being kicked out, it's his dad who should've asked for Anton's forgiveness, for all he knows.

Not willing to show mercy and love towards his bedridden dad, Anton tries to hold his emotion to not blow up and tries to keep himself together during this hard and surprisingly challenging moment.
