Down Dog (2014)

For over a decade, Frank Clayton has lived a self-centred life, leaving behind the debris of a broken family. A workaholic at the top of the adult toy industry, Frank's life is a carousel of hard work, harder drinking, and casual affairs, all under the approving eye of his chauvinistic boss, Bill. Frank's estranged son, Sam, grapples with deep-rooted self-esteem issues, blaming himself for his father's departure. On the brink of flunking his school exams and struggling to communicate his feelings to Amy, the girl he adores, Sam desperately needs support. His mother, Rachel, is a beacon of unwavering love but finds herself unable to provide the guidance her son needs. Pushed to her limits by Frank's consistent evasion of responsibility, Rachel discovers a potential catalyst for change – the looming spectre of mortality. Though not malicious enough to wish harm upon Frank, she orchestrates a ruse to make him believe he's on the brink of death. What unfolds is a rich comedy about a man racing against an imagined clock, striving to mend the bridge with his son before his fabricated time runs out. As Frank navigates his newfound reality, he must ward off the ever-present temptations that threaten to topple his progress and send him spiralling back to his old ways. "Down Dog" is a cleverly humorous exploration of a man's transformation when he's faced with a ticking clock, a neglected family, and the chaos of his own making.
