Karina, a young Venezuelan-Hungarian puppeteer, creates a portal to her father’s homeland through imagined dreamscapes. Using family archives, looped sounds, and shadow puppetry,  the past is in metamorphosis with her performance. As she attempts to preserve her father’s legacy and memories, she embraces the fear of an unknown future and the inevitability of farewell.
