AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Boxing Day is the story of a father's impassioned struggle to reunite his estranged family over the course of a single afternoon. Living alone on home detention, Chris Sykes is preparing Christmas lunch for his teenage daughter when an old friend turns up at his doorstep and exposes the disturbing truth about his ex-wife's new boyfriend. The film unfolds in real time, documenting in authentic, painstaking detail, the harrowing journey of a divided family on the verge of disintegration. As the situation slowly and inevitability escalates we are drawn into the compelling story of a father who finally exposes the dark and disturbing secret that has torn his family apart.'
