Synopsis
The portrait of a father as seen through the eyes of his daughter by means of a photo album. A
travel diary from the 1970s, starting in Japan and around the world. Father and daughter cross
views on the memories of the old images and words, sharing the will to bring them to the
present day.
At 30, Jiro embarked into a year-long trip taking in the Soviet Union, North Africa, Europe, and
the United States. Nearly half a century later, his daughter makes use of various memorabilia to
take a step back in time and explore how such adventures have shaped the man’s take on the
modern world.
