The general idea

‘Hunter’ is a film which explores the relationship between a father and his daughter. It starts with a man, a hunter, who would like nothing more than to be by himself, in his element, the lone ranger. When his daughter notices him trying to sneak off, she jumps in his way and insists that she go with him.

The father laughs at the very idea, his weedy little daughter; in no way built for hunting, she’d only get in the way. The father looks down on her, but as she wells up about to break into tears, he gives in and reluctantly drags her along.

The film explores their developing relationship, as the daughter is put in a situation where she must save her father, prove her worth, and be accepted as a valuable member of the family. So; on with the development.
