Fathers & Sons is a 2010 Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Carl Bessai. An unofficial sequel to his 2008 film Mothers & Daughters, it used a similar process of improvisational character development to dramatize several stories of relationships between fathers and sons.
Bernie (Benjamin Ratner) meets his estranged father Anton (Jay Brazeau) for the first time at his mother's funeral; Kama (Stephen Lobo) is an accountant who is embarrassed to introduce his fiancée (Sonja Bennett) to his flamboyant gay Bollywood choreographer father Satish (Manoj Sood); Viv (Viv Leacock) and his father Blu (Blu Mankuma) don't see eye to eye about money; Vince (Vincent Gale), Sean (Tyler Labine), Hrothgar (Hrothgar Mathews), and Tom (Tom Scholte) are four brothers, not especially close, who are in for a surprise at the reading of their late father's will.
The film won the Vancouver Film Critics Circle Award for Best British Columbia Film in 2010.
Bessai followed up with a third film in his "Family Trilogy", Sisters & Brothers, in 2011.
