[Play-Doc] What is extraordinary is Ross McElwee's ability to weave various stories that have to do with the past, cinema, tobacco and of course his own family, to create a fluid narrative, in which it seems that so many thematic branches would fit with difficulty, but they are happening with absolute normality. This process of researching of his ancestors, sometimes unsuccessful, is fascinating, engaging and funny.
