The Father

Good Bulgarian-Greek dramatic comedy. The relationship between Pavel, the photographer, and his father Vasil, the painter, is in the core of the story, from the funeral in the beginning until the end of the road movie, full of diverging views on after life, chases, disagreements, with extraordinary events and homemade quince jam. There is also a parallel relationship that we do not see but just listen: between Pavel and his pregnant wife. Due cable tv problems I had the film suddenly interrupted in its very last scene, which I notoced that connected well both stories but I do not know if it answered why Pavel did not tell her he was going to his mother's funeral.
