Synopsis
“I was seven. The phone rang. A man told me I had to convince my father to give up refereeing. He said that, if I failed, one day he would come home in a coffin.” As the director and his father watch a 1988 football match refereed by the father, their commentary accompanies the original images, creating a family portrait bridging the past and present through shared reminiscence of individual experience.
