It’s a big day for Michal (Milan Ondrík) as the new CEO of his company is coming to visit. It also happens to be one of the hottest days of the year. Michal heads to the office after dropping off his daughter at daycare. All of the above are in fact the gaps in memory and what unravels throughout Father is the dizzying depiction of one man’s life-changing fatal mistake.
As Slovakia’s official Oscar submission of 2026 director Tereza Nvotová builds a world of overwhelming chaos with an idyllic family at the centre of it. Inspired by real life tragic events, Milan Ondrík delivers a career best performance as a man left with both impossible grief and an incomprehensible guilt. (ISRA AL KASSI)
