Curator Stanislav Bytiutskyi about the film:

This debut film from a well-known Ukrainian producer presents an intriguing attempt to comprehend the events of the first months of the full-scale war. "Daughter" is both a genre film and a chamber piece. It is a film that is unafraid to experiment and play with form. At the same time, it references one of the common tropes in horror cinema: the invasion of psychopaths into the home of the protagonists and their subsequent resistance. However, in Hollywood films or in Haneke’s "Funny Games," this has always been about some distant, usually incomprehensible evil. In "Daughter," the evil is now familiar to everyone in Ukraine, making Yehor Olesov's film even more chilling.
