Statement of the Director/s
I’m attracted to stories in which we travel to private places, homes, kitchens, bedrooms, and witness intimate moments which reflect in our own lives, that we can identify with.
This story explores woman as daughter, and what that role may imply. That's why I decided upon a tryptich, three different stories about daughters of different age, status and families, in order to show more than one intimate relationship and cover a wider range of relations. One daughter starts to build a relationship with her father, other irretrievably loses her established relationship with her father, while the third one confronts her broken relationship to accept her future.
Their stories take place simultaneously, but independently, because they are all intimate and authentic. They brush without knowing how much they have in common. All three carry their fathers, yet they need them to confront themselves.
Daughters in this story are not daddy's little princesses but strong personalities with many flaws, limitations, fears and defeats, daring to deal with their own mistakes and transformations.
These protagonists are antiheroines who have no illusions about themselves, but they never give up on dreams about a better future either.
