Father (Otec)

VICTORIAN PREMIERE

He had everything: a loving wife, a young daughter, and a thriving business. Then, on one hot summer day, a single tragic mistake destroys the life he thought was secure, threatening his marriage and leaving him consumed by guilt and despair.

As he struggles to understand the unimaginable, he discovers that his tragedy is rooted in the darkest corners of the human psyche. In confronting this painful truth, a fragile path toward forgiveness and reconciliation begins to emerge. But can love endure the unbearable?

Inspired by true events and following its world premiere in the Orizzonti section of the Venice International Film Festival, Father is a gripping psychological thriller elevated by powerful performances from Milan Ondrík (winner of the FIPRESCI Award for Best Actor at the Palm Springs International Film Festival), Dominika Morávková and Aňa Geislerová.
