This is a beautiful and thought provoking short film.... and it was made over a cold bright weekend in winter on Dun Laoghaire Pier... and you might recognise someone.
What was so surprising was the number of people who wanted to relive some moment or time with their dad. A few mentioned reliving time before their mother died, but most talked about their dad. Strange! I did see someone I knew quite well.
I found this very touching - people's faces and the things they said - their eyes glistening and the little nods of their heads when they wanted the focus away from them - all so dear. Thank you. Now I'm going to go back and look for you!
