Roser, a 70-year-old grandmother with memory problems, finds herself in front of the bookstore where she grew up. When she sees it, she relives memories of her childhood and what it was like to live between readings in a post-war period in Spain.
About the film
Time moves on, small shops close and the memories of Roser, a 75-year-old grandmother from Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, fade. While picking up some books to return to the library, from inside one she drops a card from the bookstore where she grew up. Impulses and vague memories bring her to the facade of the small shop. She no longer has many images left in her head, but seeing the bookstore in front of her makes her confuse the present with the past and she ends up entering the world of her memories, reliving them like the little girl she once was.
