A serial killer record his testimony- confession for his unborn son before the police intervention and his suicide. After the facts are public, across years, the neighbors, parents of boy school mates are profound unmercy to hostiles in relation with mother and her boy.
So, living only them, isolated, for young Charlie the tapes are connection with his father .
On his birthday anniversary, he discovers one of tapes. Not confession only but the torture moments in direct. In basement. And his father is not alone with his victim who, in strange manner, looks almost like him.
The performance of young boy and the reaction of mother about revelation of cold truth and the admirable craft of story as the main virtues. Not last - the question of mother of Charlie s school mate .
In short, disturbing exactly for the dose of realism.
