The author embarks on an attempt to reconstruct her family history and in particular her parents' separation. Whatever happened to the idyll, the dream of a happy family, and why did it crumble? The family archive's Super-8 films are a window to the past, and in the present, her parents offer candid answers to her probing questions. Furer complements the collection of old film rolls and her interviews with her parents with images of the family home still owned by both parents, and with it evokes impressions of the past and present that she seeks to understand and visualise.
