Juliette Jacquot returns to her childhood home after twenty years of absence. In that place, fragmented memories will appear that will reconstruct a terrible and forgotten history.
The story of an unspeakable conspiracy and the strange death of his father. Her mother's story: Ruth, living on the edge and with an absent and thief husband. That of her grandmother: Moncha, who had to show her teeth to survive during the time of the mouse plague. And the story of herself, in the form of a curious girl who dreams of being a writer.
Today, after the death of her mother, Juliette dares to return, to understand, to once again be part of a lying time full of secrets, to search for a childhood treasure that seems to have never existed. With the help of her friend Pedro Santos, Juliette will unravel a skein that will make her reconsider her judgments and relive the most wonderful adventure of her life: her own story.
After her return, Juliette takes us to a universe full of toys, furniture and utensils. Objects that, with the passing of successive autumns, appear blurred, with incredible sizes and shapes, full of stories from a childhood burdened with oblivion.
This fragmented memory bursts into the present and becomes vivid in a large wooden puppet, a crate of apples that smells of childhood, a rag doll, some chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and a disproportionately high kitchen table.
The actresses manipulate furniture, human-sized puppets, toys, Chinese shadows. The objects constantly move in an old attic that generates different spaces, stretching, stretching, waking up. The four women in the cast become champions of a memory generated from a behind-the-scenes spatial choreography that tries to draw the emotions of Juliette, the returning character.
