festival-fair · 2026-03-26

Director Olmo Omerzu's film 'Pour Klara' examines how far parents will go to protect their child. The story follows a family vacation on the Adriatic coast where a traumatic event disrupts their holiday, forcing parents David and his wife to cross ethical boundaries to shield their vulnerable daughter Klara. Omerzu explains the film explores how people avoid confronting problems through deception, and how honest relationships between parents and children are complicated by age differences, power dynamics, and societal roles. The film includes intimate scenes where parents impersonate Klara's boyfriend through text messages, bringing them closer to her emerging sexuality and fears while confronting their own hidden truths.
