Daddy's Head (2024)
In einem Krankenhaus wird der junge Isaac (Rupert Turnbull) von den Ärzten in eines der Zimmer geschickt, um sich von seinem Vater zu verabschieden. Doch alles, was er sieht, ist eine in Bandagen gehüllte Gestalt, die lediglich noch von Maschinen am Leben gehalten wird. Die Person in dem Bett kann nicht auf ihn und seine Worte reagieren – höchstwahrscheinlich ist sie sich nicht einmal seiner Anwesenheit bewusst. Besonders beunruhigend für den Kleinen ist, dass der Mann offenbar kein Gesicht mehr hat. So fällt es Isaac natürlich schwer, loszulassen und zu realisieren, dass sein Dad wirklich tot ist. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass es niemanden gibt, dem er sich anvertrauen könnte, um ihm Trost zu spenden. Denn Isaacs Mutter ist bereits vor Jahren verstorben, Geschwister hat er keine, und seine Stiefmutter Laura (Julia Brown), die ohnehin nie Kinder wollte, ist von ihrer eigenen Trauer komplett überwältigt …
