A Quest for Truth and Identity

The story follows Pauline as she returns to her childhood home, driven by a long-standing and unsettling doubt. By revisiting the spaces held in her memory, she finds revealing clues about her origins. Her journey merges childhood recollections with factual findings, reports, and omens.

Ultimately, she must make a brave decision regarding the memory of her parents and the justice she seeks.
