As the daughter of a former communist, the young director visits the interfaces of revolt, where communities attempt to realize utopia in concrete terms.
A documentary tragicomedy of a father-daughter relationship, told by the subjective perspective of the young director. She tries to understand how a revolutionary could have become a criminal and an alcoholic, and why he abandoned his family. Freely juggling between documentary, fiction and animation, the director takes us on a journey around the world. The daughter of a former communists visits the ports of the revolt, where communities are trying to realize the concrete utopia.—Anonymous
In 1980, the filmmaker's birth is overshadowed by the revolution. "I was born in the middle of a dream." But another refrain runs through the film: "What am I to do with this legacy?" This family drama is a quest of identity and politics that takes us from Turkey in the 1970s to Switzerland in the 21st century, dealing with exile, prison, false money, fallen heroes, hippies gone astray and a revolutionary disco along the way. A mosaic of a film, which moves freely between documentary, fiction and animation.—Dschoint Ventschr
