Voiced by Hugo Weaving. For almost half a century, Don Ritchie would approach people contemplating suicide at the edge of a cliff, just 100 feet from his home, his palms facing up. Teacups explores Don’s surreal interactions with years of people on the edge. The film asks, can a simple act of kindness save a life?
