As my grandfather’s presence in the country becomes increasingly problematic, my mother gradually decides to never touch a camera again, my father becomes obsessively convinced of his own disappearance, and something almost miraculous happens in 1976 in Montreux: Nina Simone comes back from retirement.

In Three Disappearances and a Song, I revisit the family archive, pick up my camera, and film 3 people struggling to find new ways to be: my mother, my father, and myself.
