My Father's House

About This Movie

My Father's House is a raw and intimate documentary that captures the struggles of a family living in Gangnam, Seoul. There's this palpable tension in the air—financial burdens, the weight of expectations, and that stubborn hope tied to a house that represents both security and a looming threat. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to really soak in the family's dynamics and the quiet desperation that unfolds. While the director remains unknown, the authenticity of the performances feels deeply personal, almost like peering into a home video. The film’s atmosphere is heavy yet reflective, as it grapples with the idea of home not just as a physical space but as an emotional anchor amidst uncertainty. It's distinct for its unvarnished look at familial loyalty and the anxieties of modern living in a booming metropolis.
