Synopsis

A young woman is moving out of her house, when she starts to remember a memory of when she and her then flatmate moved into the same house: a simple memory of furnishing the house, while chatting and getting ready to go out when a banal moment becomes a spark. After the house is almost empty, she takes a shower to wash away the memory.
