Longing

Ariel, a well-off, childless man, gets a phone call from his college girlfriend. She needs to tell him a couple of very surprising things: first, when they broke up twenty years ago, she was pregnant and went on to have a lovely baby boy. The second thing will change his life forever. This is a journey that creates laboratory-like conditions under which to explore the hidden aspects of parenthood that go beyond giving and responsibility. (Venice International Film Festival)
