The illusion of family unity as presented by director Park Ji-won. As alluded to by the film's English title, the narrative is based around three time periods: Jae-hyo's childhood (Papa), his youth and time in high school (Daddy), and his adulthood after serving his military service (Father). Each time period is a simple snapshot of the protagonist's life, but one which nonetheless provides the viewer with a clear picture of Jae-hyo's conflict, as well as insight into Korean family structures.Nils Clauss (koreanfilm.org)
