the drunk father's monologue at the weeping son
A middle-aged tennis instructor, preparing to instruct his son in tennis, becomes intoxicated in the family’s garage and subjects his son to a rambling monologue while the son weeps and perspires.
Context
As of Yore is the sealed-monologist beat filmed inside the family: a father who means to instruct instead drowns the son in a rambling drunk monologue, "instruction" curdled into a broadcast the boy can only weep and sweat through. Speech aimed at a child that reaches him only as weather to be endured.
