About film
Lara never knew her grandfather – renowned psychoanalyst and writer Santiago Dubkovsky, whose name had nearly faded from family stories. As she begins piecing together fragments of his life—old photographs, film reels, and letters – she uncovers more than a portrait of an ancestor: an entire history of emotions and hidden connections. This film is an intimate journey into the past, where history comes alive, reaching into the present and filling the heart with new revelations. It is a story about how what we feel intuitively has always been a part of us, and the importance of listening to the voice of our roots.
