The movie is based on Carr’s memoirs of losing his wife and taking care of their two sons.

Owen said: “Every time I read the scene where I’m telling a boy his mother may not be around much longer, I cried.

“Just the whole idea of that conversation was really painful.

“The film is an exploration of grief, loss and parenting from a guy’s perspective but it’s never heavy or sentimental, just beautifully rough.”
