In My Father's Den DVD

Starring Matthew Macfadyen (Pride and Prejudice, Enigma), Miranda Otto (Lord of the Rings, War of the Worlds) and newcomer Emily Barclay, In My Father's Den is a haunting, intricately layered mystery.

When his father dies, Paul Prior (Macfadyen), a weary war photographer, returns to his remote New Zealand home to face the past he left behind seventeen years ago. Against his better judgment, he befriends the daughter of his first girlfriend, the enigmatic and feisty sixteen-year old Celia, who hungers for the world beyond her small-town.

However, the friendship is condemned by members of both their families and when Celia goes missing, Paul is immediately blamed for her sudden disappearance. As the violent and urgent truth gradually emerges, Paul is forced to confront the family tragedy and betrayal he ran from as a youth.

Set against the stunning landscapes of New Zealand captured by cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh (The Piano, Once Were Warriors) and winning 10 New Zealand film awards (including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay), In My Father's Den is a superbly nuanced, atmospheric thriller and marks Brad McGann as a director to watch.
