The film unfolds through their intertwined voices, blending archival footage, family photographs, and present-day observations.
My voice comes in rarely, only to bring forth the perspective of the people, never to intrude or influence. This non-invasive gaze persists throughout the film as the filmmaker merely observes the community.
