synopsis:
When her parents refuse to explain their sudden divorce, Danka searches for answers in home videos recorded on their MINI DV camera.
As she watches the footage, she is pulled into vivid memories of a childhood summer by the lake—days spent fishing in the sun, playing hide-and-seek, and eating refreshing cherries.
Was it really just a carefree vacation, or do the tapes hold secrets that couldn’t be seen through a child’s eyes? Where does the truth lie—in memories, or in the footage recorded on tape?
