A Sickness Like a Poem

| A Sickness Like a Poem
(Gloria)

What is it like to live with a father who committed a crime during a psychotic episode, who is now in a forensic psychiatric facility, and is soon to be released? In a ruthlessly candid, deeply warmhearted, and at times genuinely humorous way, the filmmaker Jelena Ilić tentatively approaches her father, who is both a stranger and familiar to her.
