A Girl is Lost in Her Century, Looking For Her Father

Description

Amid a landscape of rubble, skeletal figures, and helplessness in Europe post-World War II, a girl and a man wander among the ruins.

Hanna, a 12-year-old girl with Down's Syndrome, is looking for her father. Marius, her companion, seems to be hiding from something. Aided by a simple instruction card, Hanna explores what it is to be human, as Tavares creates an abstract yet touching portrait of the true victims of war.

A Girl is Lost in Her Century, Looking For Her Father reveals the nuanced depths of human resilience and the innocence of seeking amidst chaos, offering a unique perspective on the post-war humanitarian landscape.
