Do we work on our grief or does the grief work on us?
A seemingly ordinary Belgian family navigates the quiet weight of daily life, where silence speaks louder than words. As home videos and shared routines intertwine, subtle cracks in their world reveal a presence that refuses to fade, blurring the line between memory and reality in a tender reflection on love and lingering grief.
Awards
Minikino Film Week 2026, Indonesia - Best Documentary Short
“For making documentary itself embody the movements of grief, jumping across time, yearning for the past, seeking release, and opening unexpectedly onto fleeting moments of precious joy, the film turns memories into the very form of lived duration. For editing that seems almost to disappear as it deftly and sensitively combs through hours of home movies, allowing small gestures and wondrous faces still innocent of a tragic future to shine and remind us of how today is golden, the Best Documentary is OUR BIRTHDAYS by Angeline Teh.”
