The Whale tells the story of a 600-pound obese man who hides from the world. Charlie cannot stop eating to the detriment of everyone around him, including his daughter.
Desperate to reconnect with this long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen.
Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale is the story of a man’s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
The 2022 Academy Award winning movie (starring Brendan Fraser) was adapted from Hunter's play.
