After suffering a temporary vision loss, a filmmaker dives into her family’s home videos from the early 90's to challenge her father’s gaze. As she transforms the images, she liberates the characters trapped in those magnetic tapes and explores the mythology of family, the cracks of emotional distance and the tension between what is seen and what hides underneath the frame.

Using these awaken memories, she composes a new narrative that reimagines her father's vision. They reconnect in the present, amid vulnerability, awkwardness and love: the story of a gardener and a one-eyed woman.
