Linz ISFF Competition 9 : The Ways We Hold On

A remembered voice, an imagined bond, a love that shelters or becomes consuming. These films explore the emotional lives of men and fathers, and the relationships through which others try to reach them. Tenderness, grief, jealousy, and unspoken distress reveal different forms of attachment—some sustaining, others difficult to release.
