On his parents\u2019 20th wedding anniversary, director Tudor Platon filmed them dancing and kissing. Almost ten years later, he learns that his parents are getting divorced. This happens at the same time that he falls in love, starts a family, and has his first child. Platon\u2019s camera \u201chelps capture the space of emotional reflection and healing through dialogue, and through long shots with silences, this space becomes even palpable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <em>Dad<\/em>, produced by Manifest Film, is an exploration of the relationship between a daughter about to become a mother, who is looking to heal from the hurts of the past, and an estranged parent who asks for her help to expose the abuse he has been subjected to over the years by his employer in Italy. With the denunciation of injustice, wounds from their past are reopened.<\/p>\n<p>The festival, one of the largest documentary film festivals in the Nordic countries, takes place between February 4 and February 9. In Finland, it is the only festival dedicated exclusively to documentary films.
