Events
at a family gathering.
My
impressions:
The
hustle and bustle in the kitchen preparing food, the journey back
home and the patriarch taking a walk. Earlier scenes before the
members of a family gather for a day in remembrance of a lost son, a
brother.
Memories
of the past are recalled, many with a nostalgic tint of a time of
innocence and pure joy. In between, certain questions and assumptions
prick the pride and conscience of those mentioned. An all out defense
is not expected, decorum and respect for the elders are always
paramount.
Expectations
and dreams of a better present and future hold sway. But no one knows
whether if the past was different, events would turn out as wished.
The
family has to move on with the past remaining a memory.
