A woman travels to another town to find her father, whom she has never seen. This very personal documentary is about people´s need to understand themselves. It constructs a picture of a very real human relationship: of a woman who loves and hates a person she doesn´t know. The longing for approval drives her into a terrifying process. The film also relates the making of a documentary film, with its attendant moral problems. The director, Anu Kuivalainen, records everything relentlessly. The film highlights feelings that are shared by all of us about the significance of family relationships and the traumas relating to them.
