André is an elderly man living with dementia who has been living in the same flat for over thirty years. Accustomed to taking care of himself, Andre is thrown into chaos when his family and friends tell him how to live his life. The Father is a heartfelt tragicomedy about a family coping with the effects of physical and mental loss and exposing the cost of what it means for one man to maintain his independence.
