    • Synopsis
    • A long love phone call between the director and her boyfriend reveals the difficulties of their relationship, long pauses between sentences denote a strong mutual incomprehension. Is the tendency to carry on toxic relationships the result of an example set by the family? The director seeks an answer. It’s a journey through her parents’ archives and conversations with her mother and grandmother, a journey that always seems to return to the starting point. As in a limbo, the director and her parents do not seem to find a destination and life never seems to change.
