U Portretu zbunjenog oca nevjerojatna priča o ocu i sinu krene neočekivanim i tragičnim smjerom dočaravajući duboko osoban (auto)portret cijenjenog norveškog dokumentarnog autora Gunnara Halla Jensena. Zahvaljujući svojoj prepoznatljivoj sposobnosti propitivanja velikih životnih pitanja, sada se suočava s dosad najvećim izazovom. Dulje od dva desetljeća snimao je svog sina Jonathana, na putu od djetinjstva do odraslosti, bilježeći njegov poriv da osvoji svijet. No kako Jonathan odrasta, tako postaju i udaljeniji. Do vrhunca dolazi kada Gunnar primi telefonski poziv kojeg se svaki roditelj najviše boji. Sirova i bolna priča o ljubavi, gubitku i očevoj očajničkoj borbi da dopre do sina - i sebe. Film o gubitku kontrole, no ujedno i o neodustajanju od nade.
