Life as a House (2001)

Confronted with a terminal diagnosis, a father seeks to connect with his estranged, misanthropic teenage son. The chasm between them yawns wide, filled with years of neglect and divergent paths. For the son, "quality time" is a cocktail of illicit highs and petty hustles, anything to escape the looming shadow of his father's presence. As time ebbs away, both are forced to confront their fractured relationship, navigating a landscape of resentment and unspoken grief. Can they bridge the divide before it's too late, or will the past forever define their final chapter? The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher.
