What happens

That Lovely Girl (French: Loin de mon père (lit. Far from my father), Hebrew: הרחק מהיעדרו) is a 2014 Israeli-French drama film directed by Keren Yedaya, starring Meyen Turgeman, Tzahi Grad, and Yael Abecasis in the lead roles. It was selected to compete in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The film is an adaptation of the novel Away From His Absence by Shez. The story follows Tami, who is in a toxic incestuous relationship with her father Moshe, which she is unable to break free from. The film has no original music soundtrack. It contains difficult-to-watch scenes of sexual intercourse between a father and daughter and a group rape. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
