The experimental essay film My Father is a Sailor weaves together video diaries, animation, and autobiographical storytelling to follow a daughter revisiting her childhood. In the process, she gradually deconstructs the idealized image of her father, a sailor, revealing how his absence affected both her identity and her understanding of reality.
