In 2003 , animator Susan Danta retells how her mother taught her English in preparation for a move from Korea to Australia .

For the film, Danta resurfaced recordings of her voice that her mother made of her learning English , which she had then sent to her father.

She interweaves these recordings with original narrations, reflecting on what it's like to revisit these captured-on-tape moments she doesn't remember.

Pairing these words with dreamy animations that evoke the fog of memory, she crafts a wistful, deeply personal work.
