Funerals can be true male environments where men want to
cry but refuse to while their past rides up to hit them. Eddie
Holgate is caught in this exact situation. His father has built
him up all his life to be tough in an attempt to trickle down
his masculinity. But as a tumultuous and charged service
at his team’s football pitch sparks unwanted memories,
Eddie is forced to examine the man he idolized his
father to be against the husband and caregiver he very
much was not. With the help of his older brother, Joe,
Eddie manages to unpick years of emotional neglect and
abuse, and finally, allows himself to cry.
