Siri has just started a higher arts education, and she wants to do a film project about her father. What her father, who is a carpenter, doesn't know is that Siri intends to subject him to a character assassination in front of the camera. "Shut up, dad" examines the relationship between two of the biggest drives within a person - the drive for authenticity and the drive to belong. Because "between what is said and not meant, and what is meant but not said, most of love is lost".
