LOVE, DAD
Fifteen years ago, Diana’s father wrote to her from prison. Rediscovering his letters now, she replies to them. Back then, they were the only link she had to her father; today, this is the only way the two can be honest with each other and express their feelings — because nothing was the same after he was released. LOVE, DAD is an intimate film and an attempt to mend a relationship.
- Duration: 13 min.
