Father
“Diary of One Week”
Drama
When young Tako's father dies in Hungary in 1945, Tako is left with scant memories of him. Nurtured by his mother, the boy fantasizes about the man his father was, imagining him a hero. Grown into a man himself, Tako falls for a Jewish refugee, Anni. Burdened by her own heritage as a Jew, Anni sparks in Tako a desire to find out what his father was really like, and he delves into the role his father played in World War II.
VIBE
A deeply personal journey through post-war Hungary, this film feels like sifting through old photographs. It's a quiet, reflective exploration of searching for roots and forging one's own identity amidst historical turmoil.
