COMPETITION • FEATURE • FICTION
2024 • 122min • Colour • 5.1 • DCP • 1,37:1
Slovenian, English, French with Slovenian and English subtitles.
Co-funded by the Slovenian Film Centre.
Family Therapy explores contemporary social issues in a humorous, tragicomic reimagining of Pasolini's Teorema: a young stranger enters a seemingly perfect Slovenian 'nouveau riche' family, disrupting the fragile family balance and revealing cracks in their carefully maintained facade... A family on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
CAST:
MARKO MANDIĆ (ALEKSANDER), ALIOCHA SCHNEIDER (JULIEN), KATARINA STEGNAR (OLIVIA), MILA BEZJAK (AGATA), JUDITA FRANKOVIĆ BRDAR (MILA), JURE HENIGMAN (TOMAŽ), BORJA REPE NOVAK (KASPER), ANA ĐURIĆ (ANTONETA), KRISTOFFER JONER (HUNTER), ALEXIS MATERA (NINJA), MATIJA VASTL (MAN AT A PARTY), MIRJAM KORBAR (DOCTOR), STANE TOMAZIN (MEDICAL TECHNICIAN), DONATELLA DE COLLE (VOCALIST), ŽIGAN KRAJNČAN (DJ), JERNEJ KOGOVŠEK (WAITER)
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:
Family Therapy starts as a social satire and continues as an exploration of the human condition. Is our indifference to the world around us learned, a symptom of a broader social pathology? Or are we perhaps afraid to face our own vulnerability?
