Paul's Last Waltz
Filmmaker Lieza Röben’s father passed away two years ago. In the days before his death, Lieza and her family gathered to say goodbye to their (step)father. They experienced these days as a daze. In Paul's Last Waltz Lieza takes her family back to this significant period. Together they try to analyze the bubble they were in. In doing so their memories become more tangible and gradually they discover the art of dying.
