Atilla

Now that Kemal becomes a father himself, he wants to improve the arduous relationship with his Turkish father. But it turns out the old patterns between father and son are not that easy to break out of. All his life, Turkish Kemal, who grew up in Amsterdam, has had a laborious relationship with his father. Becoming a father himself now, he decides to share his feelings for the first time. He and his dad meet at a Turkish restaurant in Amsterdam. But the conversation does not go as Kemal had hoped: His father’s old patterns are in the way. The film is interlarded with flashbacks to Kemal’s childhood. (Nederlands Film Festival)
