​
Hearing news of his fathers return, Samir is driven to reconnect with his estranged father, even if this means confronting the man who left him 10 years ago.
​
In diaries and tapes his dad left behind it was clear a loving and affectionate relationship once existed. But over the years, the physical distance led to an emotional one.
This journey unpicks generational trauma and questions what is required from us to avoid the mistakes of our parents.
