Overview

After the death of her adoptive father, a young filmmaker delves into his video archives only to realize that she never filmed him—except once, by accident. As the end of the world approaches, she now sets out to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary… which, too, is destined to disappear.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditative essay on loss and archival impulse, where a filmmaker confronts what she failed to capture of her adoptive father while racing to document the everyday world before it vanishes. It moves between intimate personal reckoning and larger questions about what we preserve and why we film.
