The last speech, however, is given by Lisa, when she films herself while addressing her daughter in connection with her future confirmation. When the daughter, seven years later, is watching her mother’s speech on video, past and present meet.
Inhalt: In Charlotte Bloms lustigen und bittersüßen Kurzfilm „Dear Lisa“ werden wir Zeugen der Reden, die Lisa zu Ehren gehalten wurden, von der Konfirmations-Rede ihres Vaters über die Rede einer Freundin an ihrem Geburtsag bis zu den Worten ihres Ehemannes auf ihrer Hochzeit und bei ihrer Beerdigung. Die letzte Rede stammt allerdings von Lisa selbst, als sie sich filmt und zum Anlass der baldigen Konfirmation an ihrer Tochter wendet. Als diese sieben Jahre später die Rede ihrer Mutter auf Video sieht, treffen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart aufeinander.
