Pater
SYNOPSIS
After studying abroad, Mihael returns for his father’s funeral, where he is met by Mario, his father’s closest confidant and almost a second father to him. While condolences are being expressed, Marija recognizes through subtle signs that the funeral is not just about mourning, but a shift of power in the criminal underworld. When two strangers trigger a secret signal with Mario, he leaves the funeral, and a panicked Marija drives Mihael home before the “game” moves into the house. At home, it is revealed that Mihael is the target and that his family is trapped in a web of violence where love and betrayal coexist. In the finale, Mihael survives the showdown, but cannot mentally bear the burden and commits suicide in his father’s office.
