YOUR FATHER AND I DON'T USUALLY TALK ABOUT SUCH THINGS... — Hungary 2024 — Directed by: Dávid András Szabó — 13 min — Spoken language: Hungarian
Dávid András Szabó sets out to understand the relationship between his parents, and through it, his own. As conversations with his mother unfold, a portrait emerges of a marriage defined by sacrifice, where a father’s unrealized artistic ambitions quietly shaped family life. Yet the idealized figure that appears in his mother’s self-effacing narrative gradually dissolves, revealing a fallible, ordinary man seen through the filmmaker’s more distanced eye.
What begins as a search for answers becomes a reflection on the shifting, unequal dynamics of love between two people. Intimate, vulnerable, and deeply personal, the film traces how a family’s emotional landscape is etched into the son who now tries to understand it.
