The film recounts the images and imagery of my family, made up of me, my parents – no
longer married – my father’s second wife and his two sons from this marriage.
Through a synthesis of family archive images made by my father when I was a child and
those filmed by me in more recent times – as a kind passing of the baton – the film opens
out to contemplate wider notions of origins, relationships and growth, by searching for the
traces of family sentiment: the love between my parents; attention to those small daily
"rituals" that reveal affection, complicity and shortcomings; their gaze upon my siblings
(and on me as a child) and their vision, almost a yearning breathing a return to the womb.
(Caterina Biasiucci)
