Children(2014)

Children is a debut fiction film from acclaimed documentarist Jaro Vojtek, exploring the fraught bonds between parents and their children through four interconnected stories. Titled Son, Marathon, Canary, and Father, each narrative unfolds across a different season, examining how long-term separation and declining health strain family ties. The film follows characters facing difficult choices and inevitable heartbreak as they navigate estrangement, disappointment, and the weight of unmet expectations. Vojtek brings his documentary precision to these intimate portraits, observing behaviour with unflinching clarity to reveal the authentic texture of damaged relationships. Together, the four tales form a layered mosaic of hope and loss, capturing how parental bonds shape us throughout our lives.
