Mass

Synopsis

Taut, gripping, and deeply insightful, Mass captures the emotionally freighted meeting of two couples whose lives have been sundered by the same tragedy. Six years after the school shooting, parents of the deceased victim and parents of the perpetrator agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward. Making his feature debut as writer/director, acclaimed actor Fran Kranz explores the different ways that people grapple with the inexplicable, carry their grief, and find the will to persevere. Mass brings together a brilliant cast - Martha Plimpton, Jason Isaacs, Ann Dowd and Reed Birney - who illuminate their characters in all their human complexity and vulnerability.
