Overview

A diary film built from home movies shot by a father in Sardinia during the 1950s and ’60s, capturing playful and affectionate family moments before his early death. Paired with Kafka’s “Letter to His Father,” the film reflects on absence, memory, and the filmmaker’s own father, exploring how those lost continue to live through the images we watch.
