After the death of his father, Paul Prior reluctantly returns to the remote New Zealand community of his birth, a place he had hoped to never clap eyes on again. The only bright spot is Celia, a sixteen year old besotted by Paul's life as a war photographer, but when the young girl goes missing Paul's best forgotten past comes crowding back in and the locals begin baying for blood. In My Father's Den is a powerful, gritty film that relentlessly builds on the tension to become as much a thriller as it began a drama. Beautiful cinematography.
