The documentary explores the displacement of a family during the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus through four generations of women, including the filmmaker’s infant daughter. The film intertwines memory and narrative, grappling with the past to preserve family history. It challenges conventional archival methods by resisting mystification, aiming to document the act of archiving while addressing the emotional weight carried by those shaped by postmemory. The film was selected for the Open City Documentary Festival and BFI London Film Festival.
