‘A tender, time-warped meditation on absence, ancestry, and the images we summon to make sense of both. Using reconstructed photographs, family lore, and letters across generations, this essay film follows the vanishing trail of the filmmaker’s great-grandfather, his flight from grief, the shadows he left behind, and the strange intimacy of inherited silence. A haunting portrait of men shaped by mystery, memory, and mythmaking.” -Chicago Underground Film Festival
