Filmography filmmaker's note Picnic„ is a film that talks about one of the most important relationships in the life of every man: father-son relationship. In this film that relationship is put in the specific context that is slowly revealed to the audience: the father doesn’t hold custody over his son and is only allowed to visit him under supervision, during time limited visits. What adds more to the story is that the father clearly did something horrible in the past, for which he deserves the treatment he is getting, and he is also aware of it. But still, one should never underestimate the power of the father-son bond... related links
