Isaak

Based on a painting by Rembrandt The Sacrifice of Isaac the film is a meditation on the complex relations between fathers and sons In two parallel stories a sons desire to be free is shown as he struggles from his fathers oppressive domination This is shown on the one hand by a boy who watches over his father in his sickbed wishing to free himself from his fathers domineering presence and on the other a biblical Isaac who frees himself from Abrahams intent to kill his own son
