Synopsis:
Romulus, My Father is based on Raimond Gaita's critically acclaimed memoir of the same name. It
tells the story of Romulus (Eric Bana), his beautiful wife, Christina (Franka Potenta), and their struggle
in the face of great adversity to bring up their son, Raimond (Kodi Smit-McPhee).
It is the tale of a boy - Raimond, trying to balance a universe described by his deeply moral father, against
the experience of heartbreaking absence and neglect from a depressive mother. It is, ultimately, a story of
impossible love that celebrates the unbreakable bond between father and son. It involves issues dealing with
mental illness during a time when there was little knowledge of treatments, when the treatments that did exist
were archaic, struggle as immigrants in a new country, family and extended family and love for a father, all
seen from the point of view of a young boy.
