Ioan Matei Agapi’s home is a place that belongs to the realm of memory — from shelves and boxfuls of photographs and home-movies to his old childhood ice-skates. The municipal decision to have his flat evicted brings about an entire process of evaluating what should be kept, what serves a purpose. Thus, in the midst of an incursion into the Agapi family’s political and artistic past through images from their personal archives, a discussion ensues about the importance of memory, loaded with small tensions here and there. The coldness of the demands to evict this place runs counter to the vivid (and slightly melancholic) brightness of the filmed images, to the vivacity with which the protagonist remembers his own past. Starting as a conversation between father and daughter, Nora Agapi’s film becomes a fight for spaces and memories, an homage to her own father, but also to the place and the world of her childhood.
