Mikado

2022 · 96 min

A quiet, suffocating family drama where pride and guilt slowly corrode trust, leaving you uneasy long after.

Overview
One day, teenager Magda offers her expensive necklace to a sick child in the hospital she volunteers for- her father is certain she is lying again. When she proves her innocence, he is ashamed and guilty but also incapable of admitting he was wrong. Relationships are now broken and in chaos, and past decisions have an irreversible outcome.
