The Ballad Of Jack And Rose
Now, as Jack lives out his last months in their isolated complex, his only success has been fathering a 16-year-old daughter, Rose (Belle), a sheltered young innocent raised on his values. Hopelessly devoted to her father, Rose has sworn to kill herself when Jack dies. Time for another experiment.
Jack invites single mother, Kathleen (Keener) and her sons to enter his private domain. But Rose resents the disruption and envies for her father's attention.
