Synopsis
Made after the passing of the filmmaker’s grandfather, Jesa is a film dealing with themes of intergenerational trauma and its inherited effects on intimacy and family. Exploring the effects of colonization and post-war memory on the intimate scale of family, Jesa uses song, stories, and recollections of the past to wrestle with the questions of how do we exist together after trauma?
