Program Note
"In 1991 I traveled from Buenos Aires to Germany to study film. Seven years later, I had to return in order to make this film. Images of the Absence tells the story of a family which never became one: my family. The film is also a kind of diary of my journey from Germany to Buenos Aires to be able to understand the reasons of my parents′ separation and of my father′s long absence. Images of the Absence is a film about love and the loss of love, about growing old and death." (German Kral)
