In a remote, rural boarding house, a bitter and lonely old man shares a room with another person, someone seemingly uninteresting, who dies in the meantime. Upon discovering a box of receipts his roommate kept, he realizes that those papers tell a story, a whole life: love, marriage, a son, and an irreparable loss. This revelation transforms him, erasing his extreme bitterness and offering some clarity and meaning to his life of solitude. Between poetic classified ads and the empty daily life of emotional and familial abandonment, a portrait of old age, memory, and the unexpected possibility of encounter is constructed when everything seems over and without any chance of a future.
