SINOPSIS
This film traces a hybrid visual landscape formed by superimposing family films in Super 8, appropriating film materials from classic Hollywood melodramas, microscopic pictures taken from medical film archives and visual materials from a variety of origins. Through 26 short stories shown in reverse alphabetical order, Su Friedrich provides us with a map of her memory, by linking all the stories with the third-person narrative of the ordinary and extraordinary events of her childhood.
