Dearest

The emotional landscape of 'Dearest' is dominated by profound sadness and empathy, stemming from the harrowing experience of child kidnapping and the arduous, years-long search. The initial anxiety and anticipation during the desperate quest for their son gradually give way to a deep melancholy, as the film explores the complex and often bittersweet aftermath of reunion, where the 'trouble does not end.' Hope and inspiration are present in the parents' relentless perseverance and the solidarity among families, while anger towards the injustice and disturbing elements related to the child's trauma and the kidnapper's perspective add further emotional depth.
