A chance encounter with discovered video footage from 1983 of the Bosnian town Tešanj triggers unexpected emotions as the filmmaker recognises her grandfather among the people in the film. The filmmaker re-imagines the moment of encounter between the key protagonists in the video, as a way of re-collecting her own childhood memories that have been veiled by the traumatic events of the post-war traumas and narratives of the 90's war in Bosnia. The present is seen through the eyes of the past so that those who have long passed can reclaim the right to their own image.
