A documentary short about an artistic family pieced together from a discovered box of old photos, letters, journals, a VHS tape and knick-knacks of various sorts. This awkward family appears to have attempted to escape from modern society by secluding themselves in their apartment in Madrid, Spain. The father was an unknown actor who never succeeded at getting his break in Hollywood. The mother was a talented artist who experimented with painting, sculpture and photography, although the themes of most of her works were quite bizarre. The end to this short film is as mystifying as the entire family story of these three characters. It makes you wonder if there really are so many out-of-the-ordinary people in the world or if recovered random artifacts of any normal family could be interpreted in such a way as to highlight only the bizarre characteristics and tell a story that veers quite far away from reality.
