In fact, the plot is such as to captivate the viewer in the usual sense, no.
A resort in Turkey. Father (31 years old) and daughter (11) came to spend ten days together for a holiday. Mom's gone because her parents are divorced. They have not seen each other for a long time and are getting used to each other.
If not for the well-chosen performers of the roles, then the film would hardly have been successful. Paul Mescal, well known to me from the series “Normal people”, where also all the success rests on him, and in this film was in place: handsome, stately and handsome face, very sustained in episodes and natural in treating a girl as a daughter, although he is 26 years old plays a 31-year-old man-father. No wonder he was nominated for an Oscar in 2023.
Father and daughter got along and did not poison the rest of each other, which of course would count on an ordinary viewer, accustomed to a different dynamics of the narrative.
Anyone who likes the movie, please.
