4 North A

A daughter relives cherished childhood memories while facing her father's imminent death.

Why watch this film?

Beautiful short film selected for the Toronto Festival that speaks of the relationship between daughter and father - with the latter, in this case, on the brink of death in a hospital. It's a shame that in recent years this seems to have become a banal topic and caused a certain fatigue. Personally, I can't remember the last Oscar edition that didn't have a short film about the death of a family member or about this relationship between parents and children. But it's okay. Still, '4 North A' is a beautiful, competent work that still moves without dialogue. After all, anyone can see themselves in the situation of the character, between life and death, memories and forgetting.
