Tarrell (Holland) is an admired American painter who lives with his wife, singer Aisha (Day), and their young son, Jermaine. Tarrell’s artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his youth, keeping past wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, La’Ron (Jelks), a conscience-stricken man desperate to reconcile.
Tarrell’s mother, Joyce (Ellis-Taylor) a pious woman with a profound and joyful spirituality, hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness, giving them all another chance at being a family. Tarrell and La’Ron learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving in this raw and deeply moving film.
Exhibiting Forgiveness stars André Holland, Andra Day, John Earl Jelks, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and John Earl Jelks. Executive produced by Stephanie Allain, Derek Cianfrance, Sean Cotton, Titus Kaphar and Jamie Patricof. The film is written and directed by Titus Kaphar.
