Al Pacino and Greta Gerwig star in this comedy drama adapted from
Philip Roth's novel 'The Humbling'. Ageing actor Simon Axler
(Pacino) is suffering from mental health problems and, with his
once-successful career in decline, he considers suicide. He finds a
new lease of life when he encounters Pegeen (Gerwig), a much
younger gay woman who is the daughter of his friends, and the two
embark on an unlikely affair. As their relationship develops Axler
is given the opportunity to return to the stage, but can he
successfully revive his career?
The chance discovery of artefacts and parchment in a disused cellar
beneath a medieval swan pit propels the Morgan family into the
epicentre of an unfolding drama. Paul Morgan falls out with his
father, an Anglican priest, over his religious upbringing. He
travels to New Zealand to find out why Uncle Oliver emigrated there
and is ostracised by his family. Paul's close friend Hussain, a
devout Muslim, is coincidently attending an Islamic "conference" on
the Island. Paul meets Laura and falls in love. Forensic test
results have been intercepted by the security services, causing
consternation in the Christian Church and in the higher echelons of
Government. Can the revelations be kept out of the public domain?
Prime Minister Dick Benson fears a constitutional crisis. Who will
prevail - the Church, the state, or the monarchy? Paul's aunt, the
archivist involved in examining parchment found in the swan pit
discovery, goes missing. Paul becomes uneasy about Hussain's
motives and his interpretation of Islam. Why has his aunt
disappeared? What is the family secret? Laura has become tense and
distant - why?
