A husband and wife set sail on the ocean, leaving their two children at home to explore the freedom offered by the absence of parental supervision. But fear clouds the kids’ seemingly carefree life after they lose contact with their parents, whose boat capsises in a storm.
Family Film was highly acclaimed by Czech critics and participated in many international film festivals, including San Sebastian and Tokyo IFF, where it was awarded for Best Artistic Contribution. It was already released in Slovenian cinemas in February 2016 with over 3,000 admissions so far.
