The youngest of 17 children, the filmmaker presents us with an intimate family portrait in 17 rolls of Super 8. Through original films and carefully constructed archives, the members of one family recount the events surrounding the death of the oldest brother and share their beliefs on life after death, into which is woven a parallel experience just as haunting to the director.
