Synopsis
The discovery of family footage prompts Bárbara to reprogramme their mythology of childhood and to think about their own body, crisscrossed by emotions, fictions and years. They try out the possibility of thinking in terms of dissident sexualities while exploring the relationship between technology and body, language and childhood. Images capture what cannot be named and announce the possibility of a fragmented and subjective metamorphosis. Yon is the body freed from social domestication. How does such a body grow up in our societies?
