My Father the Banker, 2015
An autobiographical documentary "detective story" - the director searches for her father, the president of a bankrupt bank, who disappeared without a trace in the 1990s. After 16 years, a message comes from Interpol that a man with the data of the wanted person has turned up in Malaysia, in a psychiatric clinic.
“This is one of those rare cases where a film has multiple endings not because the creators don’t know how to conclude the story, but because ‘the gods laugh.’ Every time someone thinks that everything is finally clear and that we can now live in peace, a reminder comes that we decide nothing here — and the need to establish LLC Krokodils is still the least of the trials that life can throw at you.”
– Kristīne Matīsa, film journalist
"It will take many films like Ozoliņa’s to fully be able to deconstruct the post-Soviet identities in a meaningful way, country by country, but “My Father the Banker” does an incredible job of laying out the landscape of Latvia at the time. It also offers an unmatched look into the tremors haunting Riga in the past three decades." – Katya Kazbek, Supamodu.com
