In the Name of the Father (d. Vladimir Dembinski, 2021)

In a secluded village in Transylvania, Emma, ​​Jacob's daughter, discovers the lie about her mother's disappearance some time ago. Emma confronts Jacob and the village priest might know something. Emma insists on finding out the truth and in her relationship with Jacob creeps distrust and suspicion.
