Luisa Marazzi killed herself, leaving for her seven-year-old daughter Alina a box full of possessions, diaries, still photographs and home movies. This is a film made from the contents of the box, to which Alina has added the lyrics of the famous Italian song For One More Hour With You.
It might seem as if the film would be depressing - but it isn't. The home movies are exquisite, so is the commentary translated from Italian and read in English by Alina herself.
If the purpose of grieving is ultimately to return the dead to life, this is what Alina's film has done.
