- Life in pink like in the movies
- Overview
- 19 Super 8 film reels, bought in a second hand store, make a young filmmaker take a plunge into the past of an unknown family. He decides to give back this holy shrine, full of memories, to their legitimate owner. When confronted with reality, the image of a perfect family vanishes. This movie is both an ethical gesture and an interesting essay on the relationship between movie pictures and memory.
