What About Petey?

After the sudden death of his wife, the main protagonist of the film, Mr. Jochec, must take on the care of his two teenage children: his daughter Vanesa and his son Petr, who suffers from a severe autism spectrum disorder. Formerly often away from home due to work, Mr. Jochec now has to manage the family on his own and keep it together. While many fathers in such circumstances leave their families, Mr. Jochec chooses to face this challenge head-on, engaging in a daily struggle—from devoted care for his children and providing financial stability to managing household responsibilities.

The film captures the Jochec family’s effort to lead a normal life, exploring the limits of love and parenthood and showing how each family member copes with their new and difficult situation.
