Synopsis
Misha, a photographer, uses his grandfather´s camera to recreate a family album, bridging the gap to a man he never met. Exploring absent father figures, he reclaims spaces once denied to his family. Through his lens, secrets and violence surface, yet memory´s fluidity offers a chance for redemption.
