Sophie reflects on the shared joy and private melancholy of a holiday in Turkey with her father twenty years earlier. Memories real and imagined fill the gaps between mini-DV footage as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the man she didn’t.

« A brilliantly assured and stylistically adventurous work, this beautifully understated yet emotionally riveting coming-of-age drama picks apart themes of love and loss in a dextrous manner. Wells’ storytelling is as precise as it is piercing. » (The Observer)

« Wells signe un premier film époustouflant de grâce qui reste avec le spectateur longtemps après sa première vision, un film vertigineux qui interroge le mystère de l'enfance, des souvenirs et des êtres que l'on aime sans les connaître vraiment. » (Le Point)
