Another Round - 2020 - 6/10

His students do not respect him, his wife finds him a bore, his children disregard him.
Welcome to middle age, coming to terms with shortcomings.

Most of us have worked with functioning / non-functioning alcoholics.
This film mirrors much of what I observed, minus the peculiar finale.
