Synopsis
In this short film, the director gently puts her camera in the house that has seen her grow up. She caresses the daily life of her parents in a series of paintings showing us, through still shots, the wealth of simple moments spent together. She shares with us her difficulty to accept time passing by and her keen desire to enjoy it, while paying tribute to these two dear ones.
