Škafar, who wrote the lyrical and touching script, said, Tthe film is about a father and son in his early teenage years who spend one Sunday in the middle of untamed nature. They haven't had many contacts in life, and even those few ones were not nice. In nature, where time runs in all directions, they fall in love. But Monday is a new day ..."

Dad is a low budget film (€650,000) with two non-professional actors who went through six months of rehearsals with the director. The production company is Gustav Film (www.gustavfilm.si); the producer is Frenk Celarc. There are eleven minor co-producers, including the production company 100 and the Municipality of Dobrovnik, where the film was shot.

Venice Critics' Week's selectors wrote that Dad is "a film of suggestive images, evocative sounds, lyrical connections and secret intermittences of the heart whose symbolic value elaborates a story that has not been made by strictly consequential events." They added that the films's spirituality is worthy of the masterpieces by Tarkovsky and Sokurov.
