about legacy

or only a form of it. a box and its content. Midwest. the grandfather, the mother and the sister. a picture of Jacko. and a stranger who could give the answer. the film is interesting first for atmosphere. and for the way to give light to a story who seems be change everything. because it is a certitude who, in bizarre manner, defines the word legacy in a special way. the delicate way to say the story is one of virtues. the other - the suggestions. about the old man memories about not noble past, about the secret life of father, about a relation who continuous with his son. maybe, in not the same obscurity. the air of Midwest. this is the basic gift of this film.
