His Wake(2017)

His Wake is a drama that unfolds at a funeral gathering where a young man interrogates his father's guests, pushing past polite condolences to uncover authentic memories and truths. Rather than accept the standard eulogies and empty sympathies that typically surround death, he presses the mourners to reveal their genuine feelings about the deceased. The film explores how grief and loss prompt people to confront what they really knew—or didn't know—about someone close to them. Through these intimate conversations, a more complex portrait of the father emerges, one that challenges the sanitized version offered by convention. His Wake examines the gap between public mourning and private truth, asking what we owe the dead and what we owe ourselves in remembering them honestly.
