- Synopsis
- A journey that through a personal look seeks what to do with the inherited ideology. The initial impulse is translated into a short film that gives me the chance to travel for the first time to Europe. But this path diverges in unceasing searches for answers related to my childhood, the reencounter with my ancestors in Croatia, the sale of the family house, my grandmother that warns me about the whole situation, my mother that does not talk about it, and my father that is the only person that takes the time to have a sit to talk to me about this topics.
  The journey seems to conclude as a portrait of the impunity, but the search continues. The memory that is not verbalized holds an epiphany in its silence; everything was already in it, secretly kept in the childhood.
