The harmony between the actors and the creator, decent irony and absurdity are ultimately decisive for a positive impression. It cannot be said that Parents is close to the qualities of its inspirational resources – Godard, Bergman or Leigh. There is still a certain fixation on the surface of the story, but compared to Children, one can see with increasing pleasure how Ragnar Bragason leaves the scheme and enters the nonlinear inner world of his protagonists. From film "storytelling" it moves to the very essence of social drama.
