2026 · 192 min

A slow, immersive meditation on ritual and memory that asks patience but rewards with deep emotional resonance.

Overview: A family weaves the threads of a heritage that travels between worlds. Joy and pain, memory and transmission. A wedding in France, a commemorative ceremony in Guinea-Bissau. Two celebrations, organically intertwined through bodies and time, leading to a rebirth.
How it feels: Warm, melancholic, earnest and uplifting. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Family, memory, identity, grief
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
