Family Therapy Sonja Prosenc, Slovenija / Italija / Hrvaška / Norveška / Srbija, 2024, 122' cast: Aliocha Schneider, Katarina Stegnar, Marko Mandić, Mila Bezjak
Family Therapy revolves around a nouveau riche family living in a glass house, exuding an air of detached superiority. This serves as a satirical backdrop for a humorous reimagining of the premise of Pasolini’s Teorema: a young stranger arrives at the house, disrupting the delicate balance of the family’s dynamics, revealing a world of chaos and dysfunctional relationships hidden beneath its surface ... With a tragicomical tone, the film explores contemporary social issues. Family Therapy had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
