2F / 1M

After her mother's funeral He stops Her at the grave. 25 years ago She ran away from him and her hometown. But while She did her studies in London, made her way and had a career as fashion designer, nothing much seems to have happened here. At least that is how it seems: not only does He want to continue their love affair right where they left off, but also her mother's house seems practically unchanged - even the sound of the knitting needles still lingers in the room. So it is with great surprise that She discovers a strange woman sitting in her mother's armchair, who greets her as if this were perfectly normal. This other woman explains that she lives here and took care of her mother over the past years. But it seems strange that none of the stranger’s descriptions of her mother matches the daughter’s own recollections. And how is it possible that the closet hangs full of clothes that she designed? Why do He and the Other woman seem to be so well acquainted? Like a parasite, the Other woman had occupied a life that she never wanted to lead, never able to be more than a copy of the original…
