Memory endeavors to keep the loss motionless, so that it stays with us and remains open to the future. Remembering does not prevent destruction, but preserves it, and what we remember is never what it once was. Our memories disrupt the coherence of absence with fragments that form patterns under our deciphering gaze.

This film moves across the emotional landscape of memory, as the filmmaker responds to the documentaries, notes, sketches, and photographs left behind by her father. As she reflects on her present as a student of film, she begins to see both documentary and her father anew. A silent conversation of images and emotions emerges.
