“A supreme act of paternal love.”
—Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
The filmmaker returns to a village in France where he worked as a wedding photographer 38 years earlier. A meditation on the passing of time, the praxis of photography and film, digital versus analog, and the fractured love of a father for his son.
