(2024, Italy, 98')

With this documentary, Francesca Pirani opens the doors to her private life to tell the story of her adopted son, Vakhim, who arrived from Cambodia at the age of four. The family’s daily life is disrupted by a letter from the boy’s birth mother, prompting the parents to embark on a long journey to find her. It is a powerful narrative that addresses the drama of separation, identity, and memory.
