Finding Pá
About the Film
In Finding Pá, Miguel, a Puerto Rican man carrying the weight of a lifetime of abandonment, is forced to confront the past when the father who left him suddenly returns, frail and dying. As Miguel reluctantly becomes his caregiver, old wounds resurface and buried emotions rise to the surface. Through quiet moments, difficult conversations, and the passage of time, father and son are given one final chance to face their shared history and discover whether forgiveness and reconciliation are still possible.
