Synopsis
How can a father ever come to terms with knowing that his wife and daughter’s murderer is none other than his own son? Papa is based on a real-life murder that dominated the headlines: In 2010, a 15-year-old teenager killed his mother and younger sister after hearing a voice telling him to eliminate excess population on the planet. His father escaped the murder because he stayed behind at his restaurant, located just across the street from their home. The teenager was placed to a psychiatric facility. The movie focuses on Nin Yuen, the father, who struggles with survivor’s guilt but still visits his son every week. Will Yuen and his son’s strained relationship ever find redemption?
