Malc's Boy

Malc's Boy charts a son's struggle and friendship with his father amidst a legacy of toxic masculinity and violence. Shaun grows up in Wigton, a small market town on the fringes of the Lake District, as the son of Malc, a prominent publican with a fearsome reputation. More concerned with establishing himself as an artist than making a name for himself in the town's hierarchical pub scene, Shaun rebels against his father's expectations. But when Malc is attacked by an old enemy, Shaun is forced to confront his father's past and escape the life he's been expected to lead.
