The worst mistake a parent can make is to place their own comfort above the welfare of those in their care.
Zsófia Zsemberi’s short film Gift tells the story of two parents adopting a young girl who leaves her foster home with nothing more than a beloved doll.
At first everything is wonderful, the little girl is welcomed by everyone, even her new big sister. The family seems happy at first, but over time things change.
It’s clear their new daughter is being slowly pushed away by the people who were supposed to provide unconditional love.
Eventually the parents make a terrible choice they can never take back. After doing the unthinkable, the selfish father takes one last look at his neglected daughter and sees something he’ll never forget.
