Personal statement

Director Tamara Scherbak says:

"This film talks about more than war between humans – it talks about the war which we all must face one day – a war with ourselves, our memories.

The act of remembering is a powerful tool; it’s a way to reclaim lost moments and to make sense of your identity.

But what if you can no longer remember? What if your memories begin to disappear? How can there be a present without the past?"
