Storyline
A dialogue-driven drama about a woman and her brother who meet at a deserted seaside hotel to deal with their passionate incestuous feelings for each other and reminisce about their happy childhood.
A man and a woman meet there after years of separation. Their voices (off-screen) establish a dialogue. At times, they speak of themselves in the third person, as if they were strangers. They are brother and sister and still love each other with a forbidden passion. They recall their childhood, the holidays spent here and elsewhere, their readings, their mother's death, adolescence and the discovery of desire, the summer of their love, their separation. They are about to part again; he asks her whether they have idealized their memories. She doesn't think so.
