A story of love and loss…

Handle with Care from “Best of the Fests” was screened at Cinemaximum City’s Nişantaşı with the participation of the director Arild Andresen. The film centers on the story of a father who is trying to bond with his son after his wife’s death. The director said: “This film is about mourning, of course, but it actually points to the miscommunication between parents and their kids. I’m a father myself and I have two little children. Although it is wonderful, being a father is a difficult job. I wanted to look into the difficult, tiresome, exhausting aspects of parenting. I did a lot of research on the process of adoption. When you adopt, there are many unknown things about the child and you may not be able to always understand these kids. The character in the film also struggles a lot with this. This is a story of a father and a son, a story of love and loss.”
