In one of the shows of Direkt serial on Croatian national television (HTV), Ana, Petra, Valerio and Bojan, all in their early twenties, tell what is it like to grow up without a father. They tell us about how much they miss him or do they miss him at all, do they feel deprived... While the boys (Valerio and Bojan) are trying to convince the audience (maybe themselves, too) that they have never missed their dad, Petra and Ana do not believe them. Ana in particular; she thinks that father’s absence can affect everyone’s life.
