Documentary

A filmmaker unearths a pervasive history of multigenerational trauma in her Italian-American family. As decades of secrets, home movies, and long-avoided conversations surface, a family once bound by tradition forges a new path forward.

Plot

Relative is an intimate and artful character-driven film that explores the complexity of identity, memory, fear and love. When filmmaker Tracey Arcabasso Smith confronts her childhood sexual abuse, she unearths a pervasive history of intergenerational abuse in her seemingly-idyllic family forcing her to make an impossible decision: if she stays silent, the cycle continues, but if she speaks up she risks losing the family she loves.
