Alicja has lost her memory. Away from her home and family, she has built a new life as an independent and uncompromising woman. After two years she returns. Her family expects her to resume the roles of wife, mother, and daughter, but she behaves like a stranger. She doesn’t remember her family or her love for her them. Her husband and son don’t recognize this woman who looks familiar, but who acts like a stranger. Is remembering the old feeling a prerequisite for a happy life?
