Intended as a mother’s document of her daughter’s artistry, it works as a feedback loop due to her daughter’s completion of the material. In its endless reflection, this unassuming film is its own Hall of Mirrors – intricate, melancholy and lovely.

A tender portrait of familial love from mother and daughter alike. Now, the pride moves in both directions -- with Sofia as reverent of her mother’s work as Eleanor was of hers -- meeting in the middle to stretch into the future.
