| Luis visits his father who lives up in the mountains. He is keen to come accross as self secure: Luis needs money to pay for his university fees. What he doesn't know, is that his father has a new family. Emotions delve between anger, incomprehension and desire for emotional closeness, when Luis provokes the conflict by luring his father out of his reserve. |
 |
While Henryk tries to hide his emotional instability by playing the role of a "generous" dad, for Luis it soon becomes clear that financial support is not the only thing he wants from his father.
Father and son have to get rid of their old behavioural patterns in order to be able to define their father-son-relationship anew. |
