Beneath the city's tarmac, behind the scaffolding, something old still remains, half-forgotten, half-asleep, waiting for someone to remember. Auntie Dee remembers.  When her sister and young niece arrive, the past begins to stir.  You can hear it in the walls.You can see it in the corners. And some doors should never be opened.   

As memories rise from the ruins and old spirits stir, a forgotten map and a local legend draw past and present together. A lyrical tale of migration, memory, and the quiet magic that lingers in the land we try to leave behind. Background music for episode 1: Stefano Musso (Alio Die)
