Father Is Talking

About This Movie

So, "Father Is Talking" is this raw documentary from 2017 that dives into the life of a Luhansk television engineer who finds himself in Kyiv after the occupation. The pacing is a bit slow, which might be off-putting for some, but it really helps to build that heavy atmosphere of displacement and loss. You feel the weight of his years-long forced vacation. It's not just about physical relocation; it’s about losing everything that once felt secure—his hometown, his job, his future. The emotional depth is palpable, and even though the director remains unknown, the way the story unfolds feels very personal, almost intimate. It’s less about grand statements and more about the quiet devastation of war and the passage of time.
