What happens

Family Therapy (Slovene: Odrešitev za začetnike) is a 2024 dark comedy film written and directed by Sonja Prosenc. The film inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1968 Italian allegorical art film Teorema, follows a newly rich family whose life turned upside down when the patriarch's son from another relationship enters the family home and reveals cracks in their staid facade. The film had its world premiere in the International Narrative Competition section of the Tribeca Film Festival on 8 June 2024. It was also selected as the Slovenian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
