A successful businessman and loving father finds a unique means of coping with his mental illness in this drama from director Jodie Foster. When Walter Black (Mel Gibson) finds himself stuck in a downward spiral, the only solution is to separate from his wife, Meredith (Jodie Foster), and their two sons, Henry (Riley Thomas Stewart) and Porter (Anton Yelchin). Just as he nearly hits rock bottom, the discovery of a beat-up beaver hand puppet offers him a unique opportunity to pull himself back from the brink of death. By using The Beaver to speak with others, Walter develops the abilities to express the suppressed feelings that were slowly eating him away from the inside.
