It all begins with a video call from a father, a Moldovan migrant in Italy, to his daughter Lina, an investigative journalist, asking her to help him report the abuse he suffers at work. However, before she can do so, Lina must confront the unresolved wounds within their family, which include years of domestic abuse and physical and psychological violence.
This is the plot of “Tata”, by Lina Vdovîi and Radu Ciorniciuc [RO-DE-NL, 2024], the film that in 2025 won the Alpe Adria Cinema Award for Best Documentary in competition, as well as the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Trieste Film Festival.
