ENGLISH WITH SPANISH SUBTITLES

The death of film as a medium is mirrored in one man's attempt to chart his family's fall from grace.

Poland, at the dawn of the 20th century. Everything is falling apart. The young Jan Ostrowski is forced to abandon everything--home, family, friends--and emigrate to America. He settles down in Bayonne, New Jersey, and as time goes by and new generations are born, memory grows fragile and the film used to record family memories begins to fade...By something always remains: in this case, a bunch of old photos, a couple rolls of 8mm film, which that Polish emigrant's grandson will use to make peace with his past by filiming his own Home Movie.
