Synopsis

When caught on account of a petty theft in a department store, Sara (18 years old) comes across her father Peter (42 years old) for the first time since he left the family five years ago. In his function as store detective, Peter tries to help his daughter under the watchful eye of his boss in hope of reconciliation. But Sara can't and won't accept his help. Too deep are her wounds, and much harder to heal than Peter may think.

 

Sinossi

Sara, 18 anni, viene colta in flagrante mentre tenta di compiere un piccolo furto in un centro commerciale, e si ritrova davanti il padre, Peter, 42 anni, per la prima volta da quando l’uomo ha lasciato la sua famiglia. In veste di sorvegliante del centro commerciale, Peter, sotto lo sguardo vigile del suo capo, cerca di aiutare la figlia, sperando in una riconciliazione. Ma Sara non può e non vuole accettare il suo aiuto. Le ferite che la ragazza si porta dentro sono molto profonde, più di quanto Peter possa immaginare.
