Description

2064. Cora, a Danish woman, finds an unfinished documentary in which Benjamim, her Brazilian father, attempted - fifty years earlier - to investigate the story of his own parents: Teo, who, afflicted by insanity, died when he was still a child, and Elenir, a mysterious woman he’d barely heard of. In the course of his investigation, Benjamim discovers that both characters are part of a complex family puzzle, filled with traumas and taboos, and starts seeing himself as an important piece in the puzzle. The footage found in Benjamim’s documentary is reorganized by his daughter, Cora, in an attempt to understand her family’s lost past.
