What's it like to be involved as an investigative journalist in helping your own father escape and be compensated for the unimaginable abuses he suffered as a migrant worker in Italy, while dealing with the tumult of childhood resentment towards him?
The documentary is a personal and courageous story by co-director Lina Vdovii. It was filmed over six years in Italy, Moldova, and Romania and serves as an intimate exploration of the relationship between a daughter on the brink of becoming a mother, seeking to heal from the pains of the past, and an estranged father who asks for her help in exposing the abuses he endured over the years at the hands of his employer in Italy. As Lina delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers not only her father's suffering but also a pattern of domestic violence that has affected generations in her family.
