The documentary talks about a wedding which narrative is built through the confrontation of memories: the subjective memory, composed by the memories of the bride (the main character), as well as by the memories of the bride’s daughter (the film director), against the concrete memory which is represented by domestic films, photos, love letters and the family’s house. The narrative also incorporates as language the effects of the time passage on these objects, as well as on the character’s memories.
