The Whale tells the story of a 600-pound obese man who hides from the world. 
Charlie cannot stop eating to the detriment of everyone around him including his daughter.
 
Desperate to reconnect with this 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 is the story of a man’s last chance at redemption and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
 
The 2022 Academy Award winning movie (starring Brendan Fraser) was adapted from Hunter's play.
