2012 by Optimist Creations / Cinéver

Synopsis

Theo is on a quest. He finds among his mother’s belongings a Super-8 film, in which his dad looks really happy, and a little in love. Maybe a lot. But not with Theo’s mother. Theo never really knew his dad and now that his mum is also gone, he’s intrigued to find out who else there was in his father’s life. His quest leads him into the past, and to Switzerland, high up into a remote Alpine valley. There he finds George who has been living as a recluse for a decade. For George, Theo’s dad was the love of his life. As the two men meet and get to know each other, slowly their lives start to make sense...
