Directed by Kimi Takesue • 2016 • United States
Filmmaker Kimi Takesue finds an unlikely collaborator while visiting her grandfather Tom in Hawai’i. A recent widower in his nineties, Tom seems content to go about his daily routines until he shows surprising interest in his granddaughter’s stalled romantic screenplay. In alternately funny and poignant discussions, Kimi’s fictional love story—and Tom’s creative revisions—serve as a vehicle for his past memories of love and loss to surface. Shot over six years, this intimate meditation on family and absence expands the vernacular of the home movie to consider how history is accumulated in the everyday and how sparks of humor and creativity can animate an ordinary life.
