Father's Letters

Lettres du père

Unclassified 18+

The true story of Professor Alexey Wangenheim, who writes hopeful letters home from a Gulag in Stalinist Russia.

With its distinctive visual look – achieved through stop-motion and 2D that uses pencil, paint, crayon, cut paper and pressed flowers – this haunting history lesson shines a light on humanity in the face of fascism.
