A meditative, melancholic study of grief and obsession, where a widower's devotion to preserving his wife's memory becomes a haunting exploration of loss and the impossibility of holding onto the past.

A widower maintains a memorial room filled with his late wife's belongings. When fire destroys it, he transforms a chapel into a new shrine to preserve her memory.
