Fireflies in the Garden

Today I would like to give some information about the film "Fireflies in the Garden".
The film jumps back and forth between 20 years ago and the present.
The family includes a father Charles, mother Lisa , son Michael, daughter Ryne, Lisa's younger sister Jane , Jane's son Christopher and Jane's daughter Leslie and Michael's ex-wife Kelly Hanson.
Charles and Michael have a strained relationship with each other. For example, as a boy Michael claims he has lost his glasses while he has them in his pocket;Charles, got very angry and has Michael get out of the car and makes him walk home in the rain. Another example is Charles imposes a long list of rules on Michael and also on Jane, staying with them. Jane hates these rules too.
In the "present", Charles and Lisa go to Michael's childhood house, to celebrate Lisa's college graduation; Charles drives the car fastly and is in a hurry. He did not see Christopher who is crossing the road.In order not to collide him he bang the car to the tree.Lisa, who did not have her seat-belts on, is killed and Charles is injured. Charles and Christopher both feel guilty.
Between the accident and the funeral Michael cheers up Christopher and Leslie by taking them out fishing, and exploding the fish with firecrackers, like he did with Jane in the past. He encourages the children to lie to their mother Jane about the trip. Charles and Jane consider Michael's behavior.
Christopher, in an upset mood, runs away. Michael finds him and wants to take him home by car. Christopher insists that he wants to walk home alone. Michael gives him his cell phone in case he changes his mind, but after he leaves Christopher throws it away. He is missing for several hours, and Jane blames Michael. He returns safely.

Michael destroys the book he had written about his childhood, which Charles and Jane were concerned about...
