Father

Inspired by true events, this story tells of a loving father whose life is shattered by a single tragic mistake. It shatters his happy marriage and leaves him completely alone. Facing the threat of prison and an unbearable sense of guilt, he tries to regain his wife's trust and save the love that still binds them despite the pain. When he discovers that the true origin of the tragedy lies deep within the architecture of the human mind, a fragile path to reconciliation begins to emerge. But can their love withstand such a great failure?

"This drama with minimal music moves at a relentless pace and treats a tragic event in an emotionally charged way, without slipping into unwanted pathos." (Martin Pleštil, Aktuálně.cz)
