synopsis

Audio documentary. During a discussion on trust, three people open up about their vision of mourning, exploring their relationships with places, beliefs and memories. The speakers take part in a liberating discussion that highlights the singularity of their grief and sketches their relationship with their own death. Following her own personal bereavement, Manon Josien, assisted by her co-director Alba De la Rosa, interweaves the stories in this documentary of three of her relatives confronted with disappearance.
