The Daughter

AT 2008 | 110 min | German / Hungarian / Bulgarian | 35 mm | B&W | 1:1.85

A woman in her mid-forties embarks on a journey to the countryside. She visits her mother, whom she has not seen in quite some time. Unsurprisingly, their conversation first revolves around the woman’s father, who has been missing for many years. What is said about the father, however, sparks questions, as the accounts of him are increasingly diverse. The woman wanders through the familiar places of her childhood, eventually arriving at the meadow where she had once accompanied her father before he infiltrated the forbidden zone. From there, she traces what she believes to be the paths he took.
