I have no memory of seeing my parents together. My memory denies me access to that image. But I do remember, as a child, tearing up a photo of them together. In this film, I have brought them together in a deferred field-contrechamp. My real parents are unknowingly playing the game of reunification, addressing an absent person. Is the sticking of a splice enough to reconnect them?
