After many years of separation, a father returns to his children - two daughters who have already, more or less, built lives of their own. He doesn’t come with an apology or an attempt to rebuild the relationship, but with an idea: to cast one of them in the leading role of his new film. Yet when father and daughters meet, something strange happens - the encounter carries both pain and an unexpected warmth at the same time.
“Sentimental Value” explores exactly this paradox: a person is not defined by their traumas and mistakes, but by the way they continue living despite everything. It is an intergenerational wound that first gives birth to anger, and then to compassion. And in the moment the daughters begin to see not a monster in their father, but another wounded human being, the cycle is finally broken.
