A Family Affair

"I am the son of a mother with a mask," says a tired looking Rob, father of the Dutch filmmaker Tom Fassaert. The younger is on a quest to unpack the secrets of his mysterious grandmother, who abandoned her family to start a new life in South Africa. A haunting exposé of familial love gone awry, Fassaert's curiosity yields far more than he bargained for. (Sheffield Doc/Fest)
