Synopsis
When her father passes away, Callie Hernandez discovers an unexpected inheritance that forces her to reconnect with a past she thought she had long left behind. In a bold and genuinely inventive cinematic experiment, filmmaker Courtney Stephens joins her friend Callie in a process of reimagining, using archival materials where the line between trauma and healing is constantly blurred. Grief over a complicated father becomes a journey of rediscovery – and exorcism. (E.V.)
