Synopsis

Like the scenery from a running train, memories are beautiful, blurry and keep changing. This is a film about a daughter’s feelings of losing her father.
After her 13 years processing of the loss, the author mixed video footage and analog film with animation techniques, and brought a diary-like atmosphere in this experimental animated documentary, to immerse the audience in the unspeakable feelings of losing a loved one.
