TATA (2024, dirs. Lina Vdovii & Radu Ciorniciuc)

Join us for a screening of TATA, as part of the Kino Nights series with the theme Coming Together, Coming Apart.

Filmed across Italy, Moldova, and Romania, TATA is a raw portrait of a family locked in a relentless struggle against toxic masculinity. Fighting to uncover employer abuse against her father, who is a migrant worker in Italy, Lina both defends and confronts him and travels back to her family’s home in Moldova to get answers and redemption for the abuse she endured as a child. The story of a daughter’s emotionally poignant quest to break the cycle for herself, the next generation, and even for the one who hurt her.
