Samuel sees his life change completely when he receives a call from people who were taking care of his father. He needs to abandon his plans in the big city, when his life was stabilizing. Returning to the countryside, Samuel is confronted with the ghosts of his traumatic childhood, when his mother burned to death and his father left him to live with another woman. The hatred he holds towards his father cannot even be shown, as the old man does not have the physical or mental health to understand what is happening. As he takes care of the hollow shell his father has become, Samuel remembers old friendships and starts a romance with his father's stepdaughter, Marcela. Then, he starts to notice strange things happening.
Directed by Leo Miguel, Beloved Father leans on a strong ensemble — Paulinho Serra, Ataíde Arcoverde, Esther Delamare — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2024.
