Tethered, a raw and powerful short film that delves into the realities of toxic family dynamics and its impact on young adults. The film focuses on 17-year-old Derick Kovac as he struggles with the emotionally and physically abusive relationship with his father. A complex coming-of-age narrative, Tethered offers an unflinching look at the psychological complexities of growing up with a parent suffering from borderline personality disorder — an experience often misunderstood and rarely portrayed with nuance on screen.
Directed by Christopher Moore (USA)
