The upcoming movie, which was co-written by the father and son and produced by Focus Features and Plan B, "explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds," according to a press release.

Shortly before the release of the film, Day-Lewis announced that he was quitting acting, though he did not provide a reason for the decision at the time.
The actor later told W magazine that he felt "great sadness" over the decision to withdraw from acting but that "it was something I had to do."
