  • Film Director: Christine Hürzeler.

With her film essay the director explores her own family history. She interlaces family recordings, found footage and recent images into a visual and acoustic examination of her origins. It reveals the frictions, cracks and never confessed longings, which ultimately betray domestic happiness as merely staged.
