Focus Years: 2009 | Country: Spain
Synopsis:
After her grandfather´s death, Spanish film-maker Inmaculada Jiménez Neira receives a box of family pictures. In many of them, apparently the same person was carefully cut out: her grandfather´s wife, her now 60-year-old father's mother who, as far as the film-maker remembers, was never mentioned in family circles, either. It seems even her name was simply suppressed. In intense conversations with her father, uncles and aunts - the generation who was in direct contact with her unknown grandmother - she tries to reconstruct the story of this decade-old gap from their memories. But she is also always armed with a sketch block and pencil to try to bring the phantom back to material life, too. The exciting thing about her plan is that she renounces the pretty illusion of an epic and extensive lifting of the family secret in favour of presenting the intended portrait of her unknown grandmother as a proposal on film and in drawings. It is a phantom image from multiple perspectives, which she has created to the best of her knowledge, but which can only be placed somewhere between imagination and reality.
