Synopsis:

The Father, directed by Tereza Nvotova, which had its world premiere in the Horizons section of the Venice Film Festival and is Slovakia's nominee for this year's Oscars, is inspired by a true story set in Slovakia. The film focuses on the trial process of a man who loses his child by committing an unexplainable mistake, whose perfectly happy marriage is shaken, and who is on trial for a prison sentence. Struggling with the pain of his child and the guilt of conscience, the 'father' begins to question whether he has the right to live. With its 20 minute long shots, especially the court scene, the film creates an uninterrupted and distant connection between the audience and the main character's life.
