- Synopsis
- Brit, a filmmaker hires an actor to portray herself and go in her place to Augsburg, Germany in an attempt to reconnect with her estranged and reluctant father. The casting process is long, but Brit finally finds the perfect candidate in Catherine to send over seas, and to self document the trip. Along the way in this movie-within-a movie we see complex interactions between the director and the actor, as well as moments with her mother, Fausta, who anxiously waits and watches her embark on a journey of self discovery. Catherine eventually finds and meets Brit's long lost father but it is a disappointing interaction and she is not allowed to film him. Brit is left to pick up the pieces and find her own form of closure.
