Arms Unfolding

Acacia, 20, is in the midst of a messy break-up after cheating on her girlfriend. Since moving out of home three years earlier, she has grown apart from her father, 55-year-old Rob, who longs for a stronger relationship with her. The two agree to go camping together to catch up, but there’s one major barrier to their emotional reconnection: Acacia hasn’t yet come out to him. Halfway through the trip, Rob takes a walk on his own and stumbles upon a young boy by himself – an encounter that takes him on a journey of self-reflection, enabling father and daughter to finally open up to one another.
