When did you last talk with your father? Will you ever ask him about those things that hurt you?
In Father the reality of life is turned upside down to create an impossible dialogue - the dialogue between a child and a father that never happens.

Father is the winner of 2010 Co-Production Prize awarded by the Robert Bosch Foundation.
