scene 1

It starts with Time-lapse shots of the interior of the house, mainly through reflections and close ups the house is introduced. Showing the emptiness / abandons of the place. You see the light changing in a old sleeping room, on objects in the window. A time lapse of a clock, showing a reflection of the room.

scene 2

When showing the objects standing in the window, you hear the sound of a car stopping in front of the house. Through the window you see somebody getting out of the car and passing the window. (out of focus) From the inside of the house, through the windows of the door you see a women walking towards the door, carrying a lot of boxes in a not comfortable way. She is struggling to keep them together, while grabbing with her other hand towards her pocket to get the key. Probably the boxes will fall out of her hands on the ground. ( maybe she also has a lot of mail in her hands which she got out of the mailbox to make it even more complicated.) Through her clumsiness you notice that she is struggling against something. Maybe she gets a bit angry at the boxes and kicks them away out of frustration.... She takes a deep breath, taking the key and opens the door. You see she is hesitating to go in. She takes another deep breath before taking the doorknob en opening the door.

She gets the boxes and steps inside, putting the boxes on the floor and stares around her. You see close ups of her putting the mail on the desk by the window. It is her father's desk. You still see the traces of the user. Used coffee cups, ashtray with cigars. Stacked notebooks and old letters. (Make sure this is already introduced in the intro of the film) She will look at the objects on the desk and picking them up or touching them. She takes place in the chair where her father used to sit. This is the first moment she will have flash backs caused by the objects lying around on the desk (Pictures ,pencils, old letters) These memories appear as drawings on the window. She will not notice this at first.

Scene 3

The first memories are not a bad ones. This are one's with her and her mother. But after that her father gets in the memory. She doesn't want to have memories of her father and hastily pushing the memory away, by putting away the object which gave her this memory. This happens twice before she gets up and walks away from desk. You can tell that she finds it difficult to be confronted with the past. She is walking away from it. (This shot is taken so that you see her reflection in the big mirror). In the mirror the ink of the memory drawing is following her as a shadow. She still does not notice the drawn memories.

scene 4

She stares into the cabinet with all the collected small object and pictures of her. She wants to pack them, but memories appear on the window. This time she notice them and is at first happy to see them, but when her father comes into the picture again, she wipes the memory away with her hands and walks away.
