A nostalgic trip in time

Home photos and videos a couple collected throughout their life allows them to go back in time

Built around an audio interview with Martin’s grandparents, we are lead on a nostalgic trip via his Grandfather’s questions and remembrances.

It is obvious that Grandma has become impaired mentally however—crystal clear recollections alternate with perturbed confusion, and provide both an edge and a melancholy that films of this type often lack—by being too celebratory, by forgetting the present while candy-coating the past.

Indeed, unsaid in the interview is that she is dying of cancer, and passed a mere month afterwards. While undeniably tragic, this knowledge adds an extra dimension to viewing, as the impact of memory and its deterioration take on a heightened importance when matters of life and death are brought to bear.
