One Life

John, a terminally ill window cleaner and single father, learns he only has a few months to live and devotes that time to finding a foster family for his four-year-old son, Michael.

James Norton, who plays the lead role:

"On the first day of filming, director Uberto Pasolini gave me a black pebble and asked me to carry it in my pocket every day of the shoot. He said the pebble symbolized death, and although our film is about life and a father's love for his son, it was important to remember that death is always close to the character."

You might know director Uberto Pasolini from the film Still Life (known in Russian as Натюрморт or Остановившаяся жизнь), which we’ve already talked your ears off about.
