description: On the outskirts of Mormon Country Idaho a six hundred pound recluse hides away in his apartment eating himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his 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 tells the story of a man's last chance at redemption and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
