Another father
★★★★★ Family taboos are a good source of stories. “Another Father” proves it
Sinopsis
When Mariona returns to Barcelona to say goodbye to her dying father, the Coronavirus-19 outbreak forces her to self-isolate with her mother—and with the memories she has long tried to avoid. While rummaging through the house, Mariona ends up finding a collection of her father’s old videotapes. Through them, she will delve into the growing silences that ultimately marked her father’s mental breakdown. Thus, what had begun as a quest to understand her own anxieties soon becomes something deeper… Part family mystery, part emotional excavation, “Another Father” is a personal journey into inherited wounds—and those we inflict upon ourselves. A captivating contemporary story about the relationship between a daughter and her father, who one day began to show symptoms of deep depression, and about how the stigma of this illness shapes relationships within a family.
