Plot
Emma reviews old VHS tapes, showing faded family memories of those distant 1980s, when she was still a child. As she recalls trips to the seaside and childhood laughter, she tries to piece together a story she never fully understood, to put the pieces of a forgotten puzzle together to discover that things were not what they seemed.
