# Grandir (2013)

2013 · 93 min · Documentary · France


## Synopsis

Grandir is a 2013 first-person French documentary film by Dominique Cabrera. The film, whose working title was O Happy Days!, is a follow-up to the filmmaker's 1995 film diary Tomorrow and Tomorrow Again. In Grandir, Cabrera expanded her diaristic approach, starting by filming family at her brother's wedding in Massachusetts. According to the filmmaker, this was a way of appreciating them more deeply, cherishing them while they're alive. From there, the filmmaker continued recording events and gatherings – holidays, births, and her father's funeral – in the hopes of grappling with family secrets, which might explain her anxiety and persistent insomnia. She also traveled to Algeria with her sister to investigate the mysterious conditions surrounding their mother's birth.
