Plot synopsis
The father cannot imagine his life without his son. The son loves his father devotedly and deeply. Their love is almost of mythological virtue and scale. It cannot happen in real life. This is a fairytale collision.
Father and Son continues a series of Alexander Sokurov's films devoted to ties of relationship following the film "Mother and Son" (1997).
