The Father (Fadern)

Sunday 1 May 2005, 15.00

Alf Sjöberg, 1969 Sweden, 100'

A daughter is caught in the marital feud between her mother and father in this tense drama based on August Strindberg's play. The parents wage a battle for emotional supremacy until the father descends into madness and withdraws from society and his family. The mother believes she has won, but the family loses more than they win in this tragedy of love gone wrong.
