A conversation between Sky and his mother provides the context for an audio recording from 1972, in which his grandmother is learning the Pechanga language from his great-grandmother. A touching intergenerational story, this intimate short film sparks reflection around knowledge transmission and, more broadly, life itself. (HSB)
