Shadowy house

The reality of the dead mother and that of the living daughter are both present in the house.
The deceased mother is present as a memory, a shadow.
A feeling of loss looms over it all: the daughter's heartbreaking, inescapable sorrow.
Her mother has died. The adult daughter visits her childhood home, now empty for the first time.
Her mother is not there any more. The daughter walks around the rooms of the house, reliving memories.
She packs up the past, opening closets and reading letters which reveal a different picture of her mother.
