In the documentary The Flat, a coin with two opposing sides when whirred round, wakes you and takes you back to the moment where the journey began in the narrator's grandparents flat.
While going through the things, the family members find unprocessed furs. Thoreau writes that Penobscot Indians wore the furs with legs and tails dangling.
I am usually not comfortable with works on Holocaust but the general theme that we all have a past and the generational identities or the lack of it was clearly shown. The genealogy tree's significance is seen too. And strong bond sof friendship can travel up and down the blood line and lead to insights of the past.
When I look at literary magazines asking for work on themes of family secrets, I always wonder what could be in the past. This movie is a great answer to that. The narrator and his mother form a good explorer pair into his and their past.
