Post-film Zoom Q&A with filmmaker Margarita Linton.
A visit to her estranged father’s Tel Aviv exhibition of self-portraits renews the filmmaker’s relationship with him, but not the way she expected. As she unearths a lifetime of her feelings of neglect through conversations with members of her family, she begins to understand how much her father’s absence has eroded her sense of self, yet she remains determined to make meaning out of the void.
