A diary film about fathers and the legacies they leave behind after their passing. Starting from the home movies of a 1960s Sardinian family, a dialogue made of contrasts: on one hand, Franz Kafka's "Letter to His Father", and on the other, images depicting a joyful atmosphere and an ordinary family. Far from the idea of a distant and authoritarian patriarch, what we see is a present and engaged father, playing and posing with his children, bending to fit into the frame.
