During the first lockdown, the protagonist has lost his mother to Covid. He had retrieved all her clothes from the retirement home in garbage bags, in the basement, next to a lot of other garbage bags with clothes from other Covid victims.
The movie shows an alternative ritual to say farewell and to cherish the memory of his mother.
