Watch Will Forte and Bruce Dern Bond over Beers and Family Secrets in ‘Nebraska’ Clip (Video)

The Alexander Payne film premieres at the Cannes Film Festival next week

A clip from Alexander Payne's "Nebraska" has hit the web ahead of the black-and-white film's competition screening at the Cannes Film Festival on May 23.

In the scene, Stacey Keach approaches Will Forte and his aging, alcoholic father, played by Bruce Dern, at a bar to discuss business — both financial and personal.

After demanding $10,000, Keach's character makes things even more awkward by telling Forte his father had an adulterous affair before he was born.

The father-son road drama follows the estranged pair making a trip from Montana to Nebraska in order to claim what he believes to be a million dollar mega sweepstakes prize.

Bob Odenkirk also stars in Payne's follow-up to "The Descendants," which goes head-to-head with "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" when it hits U.S. theaters on Nov. 22.
