Bernie Langille begins a quest to discover what happened to his grandfather, Bernie Langille, a military corporal who died under mysterious circumstances over 50 years ago. Through the use of miniatures, the audience joins Bernie on a trip back in time as he attempts to piece together fragments of the bizarre tale that has kept his family emotionally frozen in time.

Expertly directed by Jackie Torrens, this film combines intimate family interviews and cleverly-staged reenactments. The result is a thrilling, quirky mystery that thoughtfully examines multigenerational trauma and the fragility of memory.
