JONATHAN
« I watched the interview of my mother, made 12 years ago, and I was moved. She tells details of her life that I didn’t know, and anecdotes about her and her parents that I no longer remembered. It’s very moving to watch this one video of my mother again. There is no other. It is incredibly valuable to me. I know it is also for my children, and that it will be very valuable to their children, too ».
ELIAS
« I had a film made about my life, to offer to my three children. For me, it’s a way of being immortal. I now have a granddaughter who was born 6 months ago. I know that in 10 years’, she’ll be able to see this video and she’ll be absolutely enthralled. It’s a gift to generations that haven’t even been born yet. »
VICTORIA
« I wanted to make a film about my father. I waited, waited, thinking I had time. Today, he is no longer there, and I have no images of him. This is my biggest regret. Fortunately, I made a film with my mother. We are really happy to have images of her cooking, moving, and to be able to hear her voice »
PAUL
« I thought it was great to have images of my grandfather, to see him speak. It’s nice to see him outside his house, in his workshop, in his city, in a restaurant. That’s what’s moving. That’s what I liked. And I was happy to see images of Quito (Ecuador), these old streets that haven’t changed since, with family on it, too ».
ANASTASIA
« It’s a good thing we had a film made about our mom before she got too old. She’s aged a lot in just a few years. She’s not the same person. She wouldn’t be able to tell the stories she did in the film. We’re really happy to have this testimony. »
MARIA
« I cried when I saw my great-grandmother, I was so moved. I didn’t know she was like that, that she’d been through all that. She was really beautiful. And it’s funny, I realised that my mum walks like her, with her arms behind her back. That made me laugh! »
