Napkin English
Based on new DNA matches from a genealogy platform, father and daughter set off in search of their unknown grandfather. The journey to Greece is ill-starred because of unresolved generational conflicts, naïve prejudices and a disturbed father-daughter relationship. Not yet understanding their own emotional world and identity problems, they hope for each other's understanding and keep clashing. Will they find their kinship and perhaps discover common ground among their opposites? The film is inspired by a true story.
