synopsis
a father leaves his family, believing that distance might protect them from the fears he carries within himself.
in a message left behind on a cassette recorder, he tries to separate what belongs to him from what should never become theirs. raising the question of whether leaving can ever stop us from passing on what we are trying to escape.
