Basque curator-director Oskar Alegría found his father's Super-8 camera, two reels of unused film, and two pieces of footage in storage, intact after 41 years. One home movie captured a long-ago family New Year's party, and is cut off before Alegría's grandfather shares a wish for the upcoming year. Another features Alegría's dad. To weave these fragments of the past together, the filmmaker travels with Paolo, an adorable donkey, down the country roads his father once traversed, recording the last vestiges of Basque country life. The result is a deeply personal, mostly silent essay on the passage of time.
