The premise
Here’s the bit.
Brad accompanies his divorced dad to choose a Christmas tree, with his attention divided between their conversation and his tablet. Holiday plans, a spilled drink and a forgotten coat expose the awkward gaps between them. At the tree farm, Dad struggles with a bow saw and offers uncertain encouragement when Brad notices a girl from school. Their hard-won tree soon slips off the car. On Christmas morning, a change in his mother’s plans gives Brad a chance to spend the holiday with Dad, who hurriedly rearranges his own morning to make room for him.
