Family Therapy

Young stranger disrupts seemingly perfect family's life, exposing their internal issues, fears, and dysfunctional relationships as external chaos invades their once idyllic existence. When a young stranger enters what appears to be a perfect family, the idyllic bubble they have always lived in bursts. The chaos of the outside world invades their lives, revealing their deepest fears, their flaws, and their dreams, while their dysfunctional relationships unravel internally. A car is engulfed in flames on the side of the road. Amid the chaos and fear, another car passes by-gleaming, untouched by the struggles unfolding beside it, carrying a family that seems perfect and not stopping to help. Who are these people who choose not to stop? "Family Therapy" revolves around a Slovenian 'nouveau riche' family living in a glass house, exuding detached superiority. This setting serves as a satirical backdrop for a humorous reimagining of the premise from Pasolini's "Teorema": a young stranger arrives at the family's household, disrupting the delicate balance of the family's dynamics and revealing a world of chaos and the family's dysfunctional relationships hidden beneath the surface. Olivia's smothering overprotectiveness towards her teenage daughter, Agata; Aleksander's escapism fueled by dreams of family space travel; and the secret concealed beneath Agata's wig. The film doesn't just question the actions of those who don't stop to help; it also probes the reasons behind their choices. Are they afraid of confronting their own vulnerabilities, or is it a learned indifference, a symptom of a broader societal ailment?
