Duration

When a journalist decides to help her estranged father, who has been the victim of exploitation at work, their old wounds are reopened.

After years of estrangement, Lina receives a video message from her father, a migrant worker in Italy, showing her his bruises. As a journalist, she instinctively knows what to do, but as a daughter, she has an even more difficult task. The man who hurt her for years is now a victim of violence himself, and asks her of all people for help.

Armed with a hidden camera, Lina helps him uncover labour exploitation - and in the process confronts a pattern of domestic violence that has haunted her family for generations. Filmed in Italy, Moldova and Romania, the award-winning Tata is a raw portrait of a family embroiled in a relentless battle against toxic masculinity. It is a gripping story of a daughter determined to break the cycle - for herself, for the child she is expecting, and even for the one who has wounded her most deeply.
