Anaïs López
Bloedband (Blood Ties)
This film started with a question: “Can I go search for your mother?” Not knowing that pulling on that one thread from the past would unravel her family history forever. Anaïs searched genealogical databases, scoured the internet, administered DNA tests, lost family members and found new uncles and aunts on the other side of the world. Everyone in the family told their own version of history.
Grandma Willy appears to have built a new life in Brazil. Did she ever think about her eldest daughter? When Anaïs comes across a box of photos of her grandmother, she thinks she is finally getting closer to the truth. But staring at those snapshots of her grandmother’s life, she discovers that photos are not irrefutable evidence, but the building blocks of a story, of which everyone makes their own version.
