«Salta Perimbuchaa !». On a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, I was playing cards with my 6 years old nephew Juan Manuel, when all of a sudden I drew a card and found myself saying a saying that my dear old grandfather used to tell when he was playing cards:
Juan Manuel looked at me confused : «What is that weird word?» I couldn’t help but smile while looking at the eyes of my nephew and remembering my grandfather playing cards with his poncho to warm his old bones while playing with the family. As I started to explain where I got that phrase from, it suddenly came to my mind that as a filmmaker, I would have loved to document my grandfather’s story, his sayings, his manners, his values and in that way share them with my nephew.
