The film is based on an interview with my father, spontaneously conducted at Newark Airport in the summer of 2022 on our way home to Mexico. During that visit, he unexpectedly showed me his family album, which I had never seen: his childhood photos from birth, growing up, military service, pictures of beloved friends, relatives, children, grandchildren… moves, meetings, separations. That summer, my father was 86, and he had lived through much. For the first time, he shared his story with me. His memories reminded me of the fragility of life and the importance of closeness.
