DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Kore-eda Japan

His films like 'Shoplifters' and 'Broker' explore how families form through circumstance rather than blood, questioning what we truly inherit from our origins.

 Cristian Mungiu Romania

His works examine the weight of family legacy and generational trauma, particularly in 'After the Wedding' and '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days,' exploring what burdens we inherit.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His surreal films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things' deconstruct family obligation, inheritance of debt, and the cost of familial bonds in darkly inventive ways.
