- Summary:
- Decades after the tragic death of his brother, director Christian Einshøj's family is falling apart. When his overworked CEO father is let go and decides to sell the family home, Christian returns, in a last attempt to bring them back together. Armed with 30 years of home videos, 75,000 photos and superhero costumes, he dives into the past to confront a 25-year-old tragedy and its hidden wounds. A film about fathers and sons, stamp collections, amateur videography, business-class flights, and the many ways we avoid pain instead of facing it. But when silence is finally broken, the film shows, healing and connection may still be possible.
