Rafael, a Chilean filmmaker with a Jewish father and a Palestinian mother, discovers more than forty Super 8 films and several Hebrew-Spanish translation notebooks after his grandmother’s death. This opens up an exploration of his father’s past, tracing the family’s migration from Chile to Israel in the 1970s.
What begins as an inquiry into his paternal lineage soon expands to his mother’s side, a branch marked by the absence of images and archives. Confronted with this lack of references—or perhaps in search of anwsers—Rafael travels to Palestine, creating a new archive. Working almost exclusively with Super 8 footage, the film juxtaposes images, temporalities, and family testimonies, creating a dreamlike narrative shaped by exile, resistance, and memory.
This emerging archive reveals the intertwined histories that shape both his personal story and a wider political reality.
