Papa

The protagonist, a man in his early 30s, is primarily interested in one thing: rap music. The family always comes second. After his wife leaves him over night, he can no longer ignore his sons. Even though the emotional distance seems irreconcilable, he increasingly gains authority in his paternal role - that is, until mother Conny suddenly returns.

Directed by Umut Dağ, Papa leans on a strong ensemble — Murathan Muslu, Magdalena Kronschläger — 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 drama titles of 2011.
