film synopsis
A tragic mistake shatters the life of a devoted father, shaking his marriage and isolating him in guilt. He begins to question whether he deserves to go on living. But when he and his wife come to see that the tragedy was not a personal failure, but something rooted deep in the architecture of the human mind, a fragile path toward forgiveness begins to emerge. Even with this understanding, the question remains: Can love survive? With its unique narrative approach, Father challenges the audience’s perceptions of guilt, tragedy, and empathy. Inspired by real-life events. Winner: Best Film, Zurich.
