Summaries

Through a series of re-enactments starring her family and the filmmaker, she traces the forgotten life of her cousin, queer filmmaker and political activist Oscar Torres, blurring the lines between her reality and his.

The world of filmmaker Victoria Linares is thrown for a loop when an offhand comment from her aunt reveals that she's related to Oscar Torres, a little-known Dominican director who blazed trails in Caribbean docufiction and leftist movements during the authoritarian 1940's. This unexpected revelation sends her down a path of self-inquiry and playful discovery. Throughout her research, Victoria will involve members of her family in elaborate re-enactments that aim to breach the divide between her long lost cousin's political and creative vision, and her own ambitions as a maker of images.
