So Be It (2024)
Can you create new memories with someone who caused you a lot of pain in the past? I'm going to try. Together with my father, I talk about his perspective as a father and the grief he left behind. A dive into the past, looking for answers. But above all, I try to live in the present, strengthen our father-daughter bond, and ultimately ask him the question: "Why weren't you there for me all this time?"
