Returning Home

Essay film · 2021

A personal essay film tracing my grandfather's return to his birthplace in his final years. The work moves between observational footage, family archive, and quiet voice-over to ask a question I could not ask him directly: why does a man, at the end of his life, choose to go back to where he began?
