“I began this documentary from something of a strange place: that of a daughter wanting to talk about her father based on what she had read and heard about him in the public domain. I realised that, deep down, it was a strategy to avoid recognising my own anger and frustration at having only experienced our relationship in childhood. The idea for the film took an unexpected turn and became a way of creatively coping with absence. I call it an “anti-investigation”, because after twenty-eight years researching an Ovidi without me, I needed to get closer to my father and re-signify our relationship, which was cut short by his death when I was on the threshold of adulthood. It’s a journey towards a reencounter of intimacy, and a recognition of the fragility of memory.”
