Tereza Nvotova’s drama Father (Otec) has won the Screen International Award at the C EU Soon work-in-progress programme at Rome’s Mia Market.
Inspired by real events, Father is about a man who has everything – until one tragic summer day, when he realises too late that the infant daughter he thought he dropped off at nursery is still locked in the back of his car.
A Slovak, Czech and Polish co-production, Father is produced by Veronika Pastekovaá and Anton Skreko of Danae Production, Karel Chvojka and Milos Lochman of Moloko Film, and Marta Gmosińska and Mariusz Włodarski of Lava Films.
