Plot

The film is told without words. It is about the complicated relationship of a young woman with her father.[5] She meets with him in a hospital room where she remembers her childhood and complicated relationship with her father and how they parted ways until they meet again and finally reconcile.[6]

Background

Daughter is the product of the director's longtime interest in psychology, relationships, and the lasting imprint of childhood experiences.[7] The film tells a complicated story about the relationship between a father and his daughter. Kashcheeva invented hand held camera movement for her film, which was never used before in stop-motion.

Style

For Kashcheeva, part of the challenge of creating Daughter stemmed from her desire to bring a dirty, imperfect, documentary feel to a stop-motion world. The aesthetic she aimed for was inspired, in part, by Dogme 95 and films by the Dardenne brothers.
