Synopsis
Lisa Spilliaert visits the Centre for Genealogy in Ostend to investigate her potential familial link to the Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946). She searches through archives for certificates and registers to substantiate her claim. As a self-described rapping genealogist, Spilliaert intertwines her findings with original rap poems, contrasting the fluidity of rap music with the rigid structure of genealogy. The 26-minute documentary questions the nature of artistic identity and the influence of ancestry on creativity.
