The Fisher family of Alluvia, New York, is coming undone.
Evelyn spends her days tending to her husband, Henry—an
acclaimed and reclusive novelist slowly losing his battle
with Alzheimer’s. Their son, Benji, onetime star of an ’80s
sitcom called Prodigy, sinks deeper into drunken
obscurity, railing against the bit roles he’s forced to take
in uncelebrated regional theater. His sister, Claudia, tries
her best to shore up her family even as she deals with the
consequences of a remarkable, decades-old secret that’s come
to light. When the Fishers mistake one of Benji’s
drug-induced accidents for a suicidal cry for help, Benji
commits to playing a role he hopes will reverse his fortune
and stall his family’s decline. Into this mix comes Max
Davis, a twentysomething cello virtuoso and real-life
prodigy, whose appearance spurs the entire family to examine
whether the secrets they thought were holding them all
together may actually be what’s tearing them
apart. David Hopson’s All the Lasting Things is
a beautiful, moving family portrait that explores the legacy
we all stand to leave—in our lives, in our work—and asks
what those legacies mean in a world where all the lasting
things do not last.
