A woman unexpectedly receives a visit from her son on a rainy afternoon. She welcomes him while she is busy rummaging through old boxes, searching for a newspaper article in an attempt to recall the final words of a quote—but without success. As if her life had been stuck, waiting to complete that sentence. Before long, the son joins her in the search. The pull of that forgotten word is too strong, even for him. Suspended between dream and reality, action and thought, mother and son sink into what we might call a collective unconscious, struggling to recover the words that have been lost.
