Technical Information

Synopsis
An exploration of a father by a daughter using cinefilm, clowning, dance, puppetyr and hurdling. It is reality bordering on fiction; an athletic-puppetic meditation on love, loss, memory and play. Dad trains for the Olympics by day and drags up to the nines by night. His photos ans Super 8s inhabit the scene and reveal the man. Reality, age and obsession set in. His money-saving schemes become increasingly elaborate, from the secrets of free water to newspaper-stealing shoes. But eventually everything must go.
