Hold Us, Once More

0h 23m

If a story changes each time it is told, which version should we choose? The director films her grandmother Claire, who replies “the most beautiful one.” As her memories shift and the periods of her life begin to blur together, Claire revisits the houses where she once lived with her granddaughter. An independent woman and single mother, she built a life for herself far from her husband after he left. Yet, as her memory fades, their love story resurfaces. Claire no longer remembers that her ex-husband died ten years ago. Through digital images, Super 8 footage and drawings on film, Berce-nous encore searches for Claire in the traces others have left behind and in the stories she tells, questioning what we choose to remember.
