Synopsis

The new train passes through Guinaw-Rails, my childhood kingdom. In silence, the TER rolls over the ruins of the neighborhood. Inside my suburb, backhoes and hammers clatter down on our houses. In this terrible waltz between silence and noise, I accompany my mother at this moment in her life, when 40 years of memories are gradually fading.
