Docs in Exile: ALL ABOUT MY FATHER

Two films about the all-important relationship between a child and his or her father. We meet a loving daughter who is clearly fascinated by her father and a son who has always resented his for never being around. The All About My Father Double Bill unites these two extremes under a common denominator: the children’s effort to get to know their parent again, hoping for a new kind of intimacy.
