The film presents the story of woman who, at the age of 31, emerges from a traumatic amnesia and faces her childhood memories spent in Romanian hospitals (from 6 to 16 years old) due to a misdiagnosis. Through different bodily practices (performance, contemporary dance, sensitive movement) and by her own imagination, she manages to relive and rewrite his autobiographical memory and thus to confront her own present.
