An Oscar-nominated animated short from Daria Kashcheeva, Daughter is the product of the director’s longtime interest in psychology, relationships, and the lasting imprint of childhood experiences.
Examining the bond between a father and his daughter—which has frayed over the years due to miscommunication—Kashcheeva wrote the short after reflecting on her own childhood, as well as aspects to the experience of growing up that she considers universal. “I remembered moments when I needed something from my parents and they didn’t have time. I went to my room and I was insulted, thinking, Oh, if I died, they would cry. Very strange things,” the director says. “I have very good parents, but I think each child has moments when they need more love and attention, and that is okay.”
For the director, the project was also the culmination of a journey she and her husband bravely set out on five years ago.
