My Father Is My Mother’s Brother

Tolik, an artist in the Ukrainian underground scene, is raising his sister’s daughter who has taken to calling him Dad, since her mother suffers from mental health problems. A documentary that takes from a restless artist’s portrait as much as from the portrait of a peculiar family of three, which surprisingly isn’t lacking harmony. A touching coming-of-age story that captures the fragile beauty hidden in silence, a blank gaze, a subtle gesture.
