The filmmaker writes a letter to her Italian grandfather, who left Luxembourg at the time of her birth after falling in love with another woman in Austria and soon after fell ill. Too young to remember him clearly, and shielded from his absence by her parents, she reconstructs his presence through a filmed conversation with her grandmother, who shares intimate family stories long left unspoken. Today, Claire lives in the very house her grandfather built, a space marked by his gestures, his choices, his silences.Through images, voices, and silence, she reaches across time to grasp the weight of his absence and the unsettling resemblance that still binds them.
