Ida has to clear out her parents’ house. From the moment she enters, she is overwhelmed by a flood of memories that weigh heavily on her. How can she deal with this? Can she sell it? Should she burn it down? The house breathes, the abundance of its relics scratching at its static core. The protagonist experiences this as a polyphony of relationships between people and possessions. The film explores how the things around us influence our memories and shape our identity.
