Father to Son (2004)

Directed by Visa Koiso-Kanttila

Overview

The film examines the painful relationship between fathers and sons through the eyes of one family. Four generations of men are featured in the film.  Father to Son deals with the conflict between generations and their subjective memories, and the way different methods of raising children pass from one generation to the next. How often and to what extent do we repeat the behavioural patterns of our fathers; can we change or break these patterns or is repeating them inescapable, and how many generations are needed for change to occur? Are the values we have inherited from our fathers still valid in the modern world? One of the leading themes of this film is the sensitivity of a man and a boy, and its preservation and suppression.
