World renowned anthropologist Curtis (Vincent Andriano) is consumed by grief over his two young daughters' deaths. He finds solace in immersing himself in preparations for his upcoming expedition to Mongolia, where he aims to unravel the mystery of "The First Man”.
However, he must first confront an undercurrent of family conflict as he battles against his relatives' unsettling suspicions that his wife Martha (Charlotte Asprey) is carrying his best friend Bigelow's (Alan Turkington) child.
100 years after it was first published, here is a chance to see this psychological romance on the big screen, in a film that also explores the struggle to have children in later life, a theme that is very relevant today and will resonate with modern audiences.
We are delighted to welcome director Hardeep Giani for a Q&A following the film.
