Clip description

Three sisters, Chessy, Josie and Natalia, now teenagers, recall how their father shot their mother and then himself in front of them.

Curator’s notes

A terrible story of the disintegration of a family. The director uses close shots of the girls talking, and still photos of the scene with chilling music to recall the horrific nature of the incident.
