    • Synopsis
    • After years of estrangement, Lina, a Moldovan journalist, receives a video message from her father, a migrant worker in Italy, showing bruises on his arms. Equipping him with a hidden camera, Lina finds herself on a parallel journey - uncovering a pattern of domestic violence that has plagued her family for generations. Filmed across Italy, Moldova, and Romania, TATA is a raw portrait of a family locked in a relentless struggle against toxic masculinity. It tells 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.
