Synopsis

A picture is worth a thousand words, or in Miriam Frank's case a picture can tell a thousand stories. Throughout her childhood, the only constant things in her life were her mother Kate and flight from totalitarian regimes from Spain, Vichy-France to Casablanca and onwards. Pictures of childhood and adolescent years long past, war torn lands, friends, and other precious places, were all put into albums by Kate in an effort to preserve the memories of happiness. But when Kate dies and doesn't leave the photo album to her, Miriam is left to wonder, what went wrong? What had she done to be denied her mother s most precious item of their lives together? Through an exploration and reflection of her own life, Miriam teases the fragile bonds that hold relationships together and how easily they may fall apart by circumstances.
