A filmmaker travels to the island where her grandmother is buried. This experimental journey takes us back through her lineage of female ancestors.

On the island where the filmmaker’s grandmother is buried, it is the tradition of women to choose the image that will represent them on their grave after they are gone. As director Sara Jurinčić and her mother travel to this island, we enter a world without men, where female ancestors take centre stage. This beautifully crafted film, both playful and serious, takes us on a cinematic odyssey to hear what the ancestors are whispering from their silent portraits.

 

This film will screen as part of the programme Shorts: Other Islands.
