A gentle, intimate American drama that follows a soft-spoken Vietnam veteran and factory owner who discovers his son is having an extramarital affair. Torn between protecting his deeply beloved daughter-in-law and managing his unruly, grown-up children, Bill navigates the quiet complexities of family, generational conflict, and personal responsibility. Matt Zoller Seitz of New York Magazine writes, "The film is like a beautiful hand-wrought sculpture that’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Making it bigger would not have made it better. It’s perfect just as it is." Admission is Free for ISU students, $2 for ISU staff and $3 for the public.
