A mosaic that goes beyond the narrative form to create a delicate yet fierce portrait of legacy, memory and love in a relationship between mother and son.
A diary, hundreds of photographs and sixty-eight letters are all that G. has of his mother, besides memories of a shared past. The cardboard box that contains all these elements also carries the expectations and anxieties of a son trying to build his own identity and recover a contact that is no longer possible.
As he goes in search of this woman — of who she was before motherhood, of the mother who was born with him, of the mysteries of individuality —, G. investigates medication package inserts, medical diagnoses, astrological charts. He rewrites letters and emails. He probes himself and concludes: “I write and send you this letter to try to rediscover, in my voice, your own.”
