In Memory of Memory

With the death of her aunt, Maria Stepanova is left to sift through an apartment full of faded photographs, postcards, diaries, and heaps of souvenirs: a withered repository of a century of life in Russia. Carefully reassembled, these shards tell the story of how a seemingly ordinary Jewish family managed to survive the twentieth century.

Odata cu moartea matusii sale, Maria Stepanova este lasata sa cerceteze un apartament plin de fotografii decolorate, carti postale, jurnale si gramezi de suveniruri: un depozit ofilit al unui secol de viata in Rusia. Reasamblate cu grija, aceste cioburi spun povestea modului in care o familie evreiasca aparent obisnuita a reusit sa supravietuiasca secolului al XX-lea.
