Exhibiting Forgiveness

Tarrell Rodin is an American painter who lives with his wife, singer-songwriter Aisha, and young son, Jermaine. His artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his past, keeping the deep wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, La’Ron, a recovering addict desperate to reconcile the past. La’Ron visits at the invitation of Tarrell’s mother, Joyce a pious woman with a profound and joyful spirituality. She hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness, giving them all another chance, however imperfect, at being a family. Tarrell and La’Ron struggle and learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving. (Roadside Attractions)
