Mima, an American college student, embarks on a road trip to the rural Romanian village where her grandmother, Esther, was born. Her friend Jacob, a recent film-school dropout, joins her in the old country, along with an 18-year-old translator whom she found on Facebook. Decades after Esther’s death, Mima relies on her grandmother’s unmarked photos of the village and recorded oral history to orient herself in the remote area. As the trio scale walls and trek through fields searching for any evidence of Esther’s life in Romania, the deeper unknowns animating Mima's journey begin to reveal themselves.

With mismatched eyes, a willingness to experiment with hair color and style, and a rail thin frame, Bowie always drew attention. But he shunned gendered attractiveness, creating his own space somewhere in between. This hallucinatory and often nonlinear 2022 documentary is a perfect salute to David Bowie’s life and career. Rather than interviewing those that knew Bowie, the standard convention for biographical portraits, director Brett Morgen mostly lets the artist’s images, performances, videos, and words speak to capture the essence of the artist. Bowie was more than just a pop star. He painted, sculpted, acted in films, and was a thoughtful and articulate person who gave sincere answers to even the most shallow interview questions.
