My grandmother’s home has a mystery. Whenever my grandmother takes care of a dog, it dies. This project explores essayistic personal documentary film as an artful and moving humanly rich form, following the track of grandmother’s life story. It starts in a funny, mysterious and fictional situation but suddenly meets political and historical issues with a different kind of logic.
