Portrait of a Confused Father

Gunnar, a control-freak macho father, struggles to bond with his free-spirited son, Jonathan. Despite clumsy attempts, their bond grows until Jonathan suddenly vanishes at 18, reemerging in Brazil in love with a male influencer. Chasing wealth, Jonathan spirals under modern pressures, leaving Gunnar to reflect on fatherhood, masculinity, and their relationship. Narrated through Gunnar’s honest voiceover and 22 years of family footage, Portrait of a Confused Father is a heartfelt exploration of attachment, detachment, and unconditional love, blending humor, reflection, and inconsolable grief.
