Time passes by quickly for a young, small family: soon it will no longer be that small, the children grow up, the parents get older, and this reality in constant motion, erased and diffused, sometimes stops itself in front of the camera.
Radu Igazság puts on screen an old theoretical problem — the photographic consciousness of painting, the pictorial consciousness of photography — and then one other, affective one that has been around from time immemorial: saving your loved ones from death, through images, at least. Inspired by the new realisms of the sixties and seventies, the filmmaker transforms theory into the background for an emotional and well-known story: children grow up, parents grow old. So well-known is this story that it no longer needs to be put into words, but simply shown, because every family photo itself is a repetition of this story. (Călin Boto)
Animation director, photographer, university professor, Radu Igazság (b. 1953) is known above all for the central role he played in the Romanian animation of the 1980s, an artistic movement whose memory he later preserved through his pedagogical, directorial, and research projects.
