Far from finding large weapon bases, the Cold War hotspots he discovers in the film are no more than grey desert towns that had been stripped from their original settlers in (re)foundational bloodbaths. Nuclear Family is pierced through by a historical inquiry that is also a personal one – how does one build an individual, family identity when one’s material condition of existence is an enormous pile of dead bodies?

Family Therapy revolves around a nouveau riche family living in a glass house, exuding an air of detached superiority. This serves as a satirical backdrop for a humorous reimagining of the premise of Pasolini’s Teorema: a young stranger arrives at the house, disrupting the delicate balance of the family’s dynamics, revealing a world of chaos and dysfunctional relationships hidden beneath its surface … With a tragicomical tone, the film explores contemporary social issues. Family Therapy had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
