The Elder Son
A story of a Russian clarinetist living in Los Angeles, whose life changes when a young local car thief passes himself off as his long-lost son.
My takeA quietly unsettling character study about identity and second chances. When a stranger claims to be a Russian musician's lost son, it becomes a meditation on loneliness, deception, and whether we can ever truly know the people we let into our lives.
