North American premiere
A female voice haunts a male gaze in this archival documentary about three men who capture images of women, in Romania, from WWII until the Revolution: an engineer filming his daughter, a music professor documenting his family and an aristocrat capturing the summer spent with his wife during wartime. Through an obsessively researched portrait of an obsessive person, Merman paints a picture of a country in the era of totalitarianism as inextricable from the gaze of men, and the everyday gestures of people seeking to escape from both.
