My Uncle Tudor

Olga Lucovnicova

Filmmaker Olga Lucovnicova returns to her grandparents' home in Moldova where she meets with her family. At this family gathering, she is confronted with her uncle Tudor who abused her there several times at a young age. She films both the family reunion and the dialogues in which Olga confronts her uncle. These images are brimming with bravery and are supported by beautiful cinematography.
