The opening scene in director Jan Zabeil’s new would-be family drama “Three Peaks” is telling, despite being bereft of words. New father-figure Aaron (Alexander Fehling), sporting a pretty epic beard, is playing in a pool with his girlfriend’s son, Tristan (Arian Montgomery). As they frolic underwater, we witness close-ups of the two trying to comprehend what they’re saying to each other. It’s emblematic of the alienation between the man and boy and sets the pace for the melancholic film.
