English Summary:

The Beaver is a 2011 comedy-drama film directed by Jodie Foster and written by Kyle Killen. A co-production of United States and United Arab Emirates, it stars Mel Gibson, Foster, Anton Yelchin, and Jennifer Lawrence. Marking Gibson and Foster's second collaboration since 1994's Maverick, it follows Walter Black, a depressed executive, who hits rock-bottom when his wife kicks him out of the house. At his lowest point, he begins to use a beaver hand puppet to communicate with people and overcome his issues.

Walter Black is a depressed CEO of Jerry Co., a toy company nearing bankruptcy. He is kicked out by his wife, to the relief of their elder son Porter. Walter moves into a hotel. After several suicide attempts, he develops an alternate personality represented by a beaver hand puppet found in the trash. He wears the puppet constantly, communicating solely by speaking as the beaver, which helps him to recover. He reestablishes a bond with his younger son Henry and then with his wife, although not with Porter. He also becomes successful again at work by creating a line of Mr. Beaver Building Kits for kids.

Porter, who gets paid to write papers for schoolmates, is asked by Norah, whose brother has died, to write her graduation speech. He gets emotionally attached to Norah, feeling that she is repressing her desire to express herself regarding her brother's death, but his father's actions with the beaver puppet embarrass him. When Porter sprays "R.I.P. Brian" on a wall as an attempt to coax Norah to express her feelings about her brother, she is furious, and they are both arrested.

Klinik depresyon hastalığına yakalanmış Walter Black (Mel Gibson), aile ve iş yaşamında uzun süredir başarısız olan orta yaşlı bir adamdır. Walter, depresyondan çıkabilmek için doktorlar, haplar ve alternatif yöntemler dahil birçok şeyi denemiş ama bir türlü başaramamıştır. Karısı Meredith Black (Jodie Foster) yaklaşık 2 yıl ona katlandıktan sonra onunla ailenin yollarını ayırmaya karar verir. Eşyalarını toplayan Walter bir otel odasına yerleşir. Burada sarhoş bir şekilde iki başarısız intihar girişiminde bulunur lakin kafasına televizyonun düşmesi ile uyuyakalır. Uyandığında elinde eşyaları arasından alıp eline aldığı bir kunduz el kuklası onun ikinci karakteri olur. Kukla, Walter Black tarafından seslendirilip oynatılır lakin ses tonu Walterınkinden farklıdır. Kukla, Walter'ı bulunduğu depresyondan sarsarak çıkarır.
