Dad Croaked on Saturday

Aiko, a 30-year-old woman from Moscow, finds herself grappling with the complexities of her father's death after years of estrangement. Traveling to Kazakhstan for the funeral, she encounters her father's second family, which includes an unbearable sister, a peculiar brother, and a stepmother who is her own age.

The film dives into Aiko's conflicted emotions as she navigates the stark contrasts between her memories of her father and the version known to his new family. This drama touches on themes of identity, family, and the often-uncomplicated truths that emerge in times of grief. With a compelling narrative and strong performances from Samal Yeslyamova and Alan Khalilov, it provides a thought-provoking look at how we reconcile our past with the present.
