Synopsis

De când aveam 13 ani, tatăl meu plecase de acasă pentru a-și câștiga existența, pilotând avioanele Antonov în Africa de Est. La 19 ani, eu însumi am părăsit Moldova pentru a-mi continua cariera de regizor în străinătate. De-a lungul anilor de studii am luptat cu dorul de casă, însă Moldova nu a fost o casă în care să mă întorc. Lacunele din relația cu tatăl meu și umbra unui vis de familie destrămat – o casă neterminată – au revenit ca o povară din moment ce am pășit din nou pe pământul pe care am crescut. După 8 ani am decis să mă întorc în Moldova și să am o conversație cu tatăl meu: o încercare de dialog în mijlocul unei țări în reconstrucție.
