Description

A dusty living room holds the remnants of a childhood home where a director seeks to reconstruct the argument that fractured his family when he was four years old. With actors Miguel Garcés, Iraia Elias, and Nitya López Saitua, the director embarks on a film shoot that combines scripted scenes with improvisation, aiming to access memories that have long eluded him. As the actors repeat the scene, the lines between crafted narrative and genuine emotion begin to blur, leading to an ambiguous exploration of his past. The film chronicles the challenges of recreating a personal history while confronting the limitations of memory, moving swiftly through a blend of documentary and drama that is both revealing and unsettling.
