A woman writes a book about a past love. She polishes phrases before waking her children. She tidies the apartment, accompanies housework. When the children are not around, she dives back into her text and imagines: there she is alone with her memory of her ex-girlfriend, immersed in the beauty and pain of lost love. She lies in bed, smokes, lies in bed again, showers, walks the dog. With a mix of 16mm and digital material, present, past and fiction alternate and interweave.
