Description
When he was young, Nitsan’s father was known as a brilliant and adventurous guy. Saul was someone who could talk to anyone about anything, who had a glorious future ahead of him. But then came the hospitalizations. The disappearances. The debilitating depressions. Growing up, Nitsan and her sister had a first-row view of their father’s struggle with mental illness, and the disease pulling the family apart.
Years later, Nitsan, a budding filmmaker, sets out to tell her father’s story. She finds herself chasing the past-interviewing those who knew him, digging through records, and uncovering conflicting narratives of the same events. What emerges is a complex portrait of a man shaped by trauma, a family torn between love and protection, and the lifelong intricacies of growing up in the shadow of mental illness.
Told with unflinching honesty, Something’s Up with Dad is a gripping memoir about the impossible reality of bipolar disorder and the toll it takes on the people who long to help their loved ones through it.
