About the film

A child's birthday party. The father is exultant because, for the first time, he will be able to record everything from this special day. But the brand new and complex camera he has just bought is a mistery to him. How do you turn it on? How can you focus? Is it recording? Trying and failing. The result is he gets very confused with the little “rec / pause” button: when the camera is recording, he is sure it isn't and vice versa. Going from hand to hand when it is supposedly in “pause”, the camera accidentally records stories, sorrows and secrets that shouldn’t be recorded...
