Milý tati

A short film about ties and chasms between a daughter and her farther. The author finds love letters her dad used to write to her from prison. A love that seems to have gone now. She decides to write back in hopes of finding the connection again. She puts in writing what could not be said: blaming him for the break-up of the family but also trying to understand him.
