Summary
Anna, a fifty-year-old English woman, is moving into her new house on
the coast of Brittany. She is surrounded by boxes
containing the objects that she has accumulated in her lifetime,
objects that each holds a special memory for her. Her whole life
is here, carefully wrapped up and stored safely away in numerous
boxes. As she opens the boxes, she is revisited by her parents,
she recalls the three men in her life and the three daughters they gave
her. These memories, so precious and so vivid, fill Anna with
hope for the future, providing an assurance, perhaps, that she will
once again find true love...
