from remembering a childhood gift to the reconnecting of a missingness within a significant family loss.
‘Donkie’, leads us along a serendipitous road through the pages of books, pulled from the filmmaker’s library. revealing hidden ephemera and recollection in the search of a missing polaroid.
traversing a quirky style of documentary /cine-poem. And, using a personal lost and found to ask a question; why do we hold onto somethings and not others, to some people but not all?
