What if your life is a play? In this formal documentary experiment, Anne Vaandrager probes her grandfather’s secret, which also confronts her with her own identity.

Playing with the boundary between fiction and reality, Vaandrager personally confronts her father to break the cycle of silence. With the help of theatrical staging, she initiates a conversation about her grandfather’s past, in an attempt to reshape her family history.
