When his father is electrocuted while illegally stripping copper in an abandoned factory, his young son must attempt to deal with the aftermath by himself. As the boy struggles to bring his father’s body out into the light of day, the factory’s foreboding environs double as both physical gauntlet and symbolic vision of the boy’s uncertain future.
“it’s just intense close ups – almost uncomfortable, almost claustrophobic kind of close ups, to really convey the psychological anxiety of the main protagonist.”
– Jordan Tannahill, director of Father
