My grandfather was a renowned chef and created the Motel, the restaurant where I grew up. My father and my brothers have continued his legacy, but I have not dedicated myself to cooking. In the family archives, I find the 8mm films of my grandfather, where I discover the figure of my grandmother, who has always been an anonymous character for me. Through conversations with my parents and archival material, I inquire about family history and our relationship with cooking.
