Looking for Larisa

Buscando a Larisa surfaces from over 2 thousand feet of family video footage in Super-8 film, shot between 1970 and 1980. Includes a part of the Larisa’s childhood, a blond girl, friendly and incredibly expressive behind her father’s camera lens. Thirty years later, Andres Pardo purchases these reels at a flea market in Mexico. At the time of screening, he stumbled onto the history of a family that somehow parted from their memories. Without understanding how anyone could renounce their heritage; the filmmaker decides along with his friend and photographer Santiago Cassarino, to film a documentary in search for answers and ultimately Larisa.
