Papa
Poland2020documentary29'Konkurs polski (2020)
A beautiful and moving film about a difficult love. Atmospheric, fleeting animations and VHS home video footage bring back careless moments of the past. But happy childhood is only an illusion covering up difficult memories. A fairy-tale atmosphere transforms into a horror at the wave of a magic wand as the beloved daddy, under the influence of his illness, turns into a monster. An attempt to understand his frightening metamorphosis will take up years of the author's life; one of the results of the painful process will be the film presenting this sad and beautiful story.
