Dalia R I found myself unexpectedly drawn into its gentle exploration of personal lineage and collective memory. It reminded me of how, across generations, families adapt, endure, and carry forward traditions in subtle, often unspoken ways. The director’s close look at the lives of four women in her lineage—from a home shaped by upheaval and shifting borders—sheds a delicate light on how historical forces color everyday existence. In subtle moments, the film makes you feel as though you’re leafing through an old family album, pausing to marvel at a distant relative’s laughter or quietly honoring the weight of their sacrifices. Yet, while the narrative’s intimacy and poetry can be stirring, it also felt like the story hovered near big questions without fully confronting them. I yearned for more context around the broader historical backdrop that shaped these women’s decisions, not just a personal ode to their struggles. More depth would have offered a richer understanding of the cultural terrain they navigated and how that set the stage for their resilience. Despite these reservations, I left the screening appreciative of how such a film can spark memories of my own family’s journey and the unspoken bonds that persist, even when time and geography pull us far apart.
