    A great piece of art !

    A truly wonderful, innovative black comedy... A hilarious piece of art which is following the drama of a man that in his agony to save his family under the pressure of banks and corporate puppets comes to answer the biggest dilemma of his entire life..if he can sacrifice his values for his salvation.

    Surrounded by this terrifying scenario the movie highlighted by tragicomic facts and situations (well known to all of us) manages to show us an unknown angle for pointing out the funny truth of dramatic incidents or sometimes how terrifying a human being can be under heavy duty..a real punch to the virtual reality that we all think we live in...

    bold and aggressive satire of corporations, ads and engagement obsession

    The Big Father is a bold and aggressive satire of corporations, ads infiltrating into movies and the nowadays obsession in views/subscribers/watchers. This is a story of a middle aged father, who struggles to pay his bank debts and his salvation comes with a price: he will be given money to his movie, but as a vehicle of promoting a specific brand... As the director is torn between his ideals and the harsh reality he and his family live in, he struggles to find a balance...

    A very powerful comedy for a first feature film, with a protagonist exploring the full spectrum of character development.
