Director Statement
"re-record" a personal reflection on what was going on in my family. The documentary part of the film is my family chronicle from 2003. Our goal was to capture the moment of the disintegration of a seemingly happy family in the past and to pull the viewer out with an abrupt transition to archival VHS. The people in the film try to maintain a familiar family routine, but an overarching emptiness somehow overtakes their lives and they are still alone when they are together.
