A film about our relationship to the other and the patterns we develop within these relationships. Rituals we use to shape our lives, or patterns we get stuck in and lead to stagnation. The film is located in a second-hand store. A place full of objects; bits of life left behind by their owners. During the night we discover fragments of stories that could have been lived by all of us.
