Fathers and Daughters

• Drama

This dual-timeline drama delicately explores the lingering impact of a father’s mental health journey on his daughter’s capacity for intimacy. Told with a quiet, contemplative tone, the film doesn’t focus on sensationalizing illness but instead portrays the subtle erosion of a family dynamic following a devastating loss of normalcy. The narrative unfolds through fragmented memories and present-day struggles, revealing how a writer’s prolonged absence – due to a psychological breakdown – creates a decades-long echo of unresolved emotion. It’s a study in inherited grief and the painstaking process of learning to connect despite the unseen walls built by parental trauma, ultimately suggesting that healing isn't about erasing the past, but understanding its shape.
