Father (Hungarian: Apa, pronounced [ˈɒpɒ] ⓘ) is a 1966 Hungarian drama film written and directed by István Szabó.[2] The film is a coming of age story. The main character copes with the childhood loss of his father against the backdrop of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and memories of the earlier dictatorship of the Arrow Cross Party modelled on the German Nazi Party.
