Father Mother Sister Brother Father Mother Sister Brother

Jim Jarmusch

Tuesday, 14. 07. 2026 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle

Father Mother Sister Brother is a triptych: three stories about the relationships between adult children and their somewhat distant parents. A series of character studies, quiet, observational, and non-judgmental—a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy. Or, in the words of its American indie auteur, “a kind of anti-action film”. Golden Lion Winner at the last Venice Film Festival.
