This clip of Jodie Foster’s film The Beaver explains everything you need to know…

Mel Gibson’s latest film, staring and directed by Jodie Foster, is “an emotional story about a man on a journey to re-discover his family and restart his life.”

Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can’t seem to get himself back on track… until a beaver hand puppet enters his life.

The Beaver is in US cinemas now and opens in UK cinemas on Friday 17 June 2011.
