Who we are

A pilot. A spaceman. A grandfather. A Facebook profile.

In 'Who we are', Fien Leysen tries to find an answer to the question in the title. She goes in search of who she is, in relation to another, and to herself. How changeable is that identity, and how shaky sometimes. Who We Are therefore also looks at where we come from and where we are going, and hopes to be able to answer universal questions through a personal search.

Text and image alternate on scene. Conversations with a spaceman and her own grandfather who was a pilot form a framework for the search.
