PRESS & COMMENTS:

- "Perhaps my favorite of Ferreira's work that I've seen, it's a raw, intimate portrait of family and loss--and the whispered voiceover pushing against a strong ambient sound design acts as a symbol of duality---of the past and present. The edits and cross dissolves weave a tapestry of memories--- using closeups of photographs, newspapers, and drawings to make the viewer consider their own family, their own memory, their own loss. The film feels like a secret told unexpectedly at the end of the night... of stumbling across a diary left open for you to find. Its heart is wide open, inviting you to meet its gaze." - Actor-Director Frank Mosley, Letterboxd
