“Honour thy father and thy mother.”

DramaTV Movie

A father and daughter, Michał and Anka, have a unique intimacy, which the college-aged Anka is beginning to feel conflicted about. When she finds an unopened letter from her deceased mother, it seems to justify her attraction to Michał, who may not in fact be her father.

VIBE

This film feels like a suffocating, intimate confession. It’s a deeply unsettling exploration of forbidden desire and the complex, often disturbing, bonds of family. Prepare for a quiet, intense psychological descent.
