Synopsis: A divorced architectural model builder is terminally ill and decides to spend his last summer with his rebellious teenage son, and to build with his help a mortise-and-tenon house which he has been dreaming of for long.
Appraisal: (*SPOILERS AHEAD*) Lamely written drama about relationships, whose ending is totally predictable from its start in both its sad and happy aspects. Its development is also not very full of surprises, except sometimes it surprises us in the artificial set-ups it contrives so that things turn up well for its protagonists (example: see how they arrange it for Alyssa to find out that her boyfriend is a scumbag just so that she can break up with him and be Sam's girlfriend). It's not touching, precisely because there is so little in it that feels real.
