About This Movie

So, 'My Father' is this brief but impactful Azerbaijani short film from 2010 that digs deep into familial ties and the complexities of parenthood. The tone is quite somber, yet there's a quiet intensity that pulls you in. It's not flashy, but it certainly makes its mark with a minimalist approach—no grand sets or extravagant effects, just raw, human emotion. The pacing is deliberate, allowing space for reflection, and the performances feel genuine, almost like a window into someone’s personal struggle. It's fascinating how a short runtime can encapsulate such a heavy theme of legacy and identity, making it a unique piece in the landscape of international short cinema.
