The director ventures into landscapes of long-lost time, in an attempt to confront the 25-year old tragedy, and the hidden wounds left in its wake.
Two decades after the tragic death of his brother, the director Christians Einshøj's family is falling apart. Armed with 30 years of home-video, 75.000 family photos and three tightly fit superhero costumes, he ventures into landscapes of long-lost time, in an attempt to confront the 25-year old tragedy, and the hidden wounds left in its wake. It's a story of fathers and sons, of vast collections of stamps and amateur videography, of long-distance business-class flights and all the other ways in which we flee, instead of talking about that which hurts – and of the redemption that can follow when the silence is breached and they maybe finally make it to the other side of the mountains.
