Stockpiling is a common habit. Your parents have also surrounded themselves with a quite amount of things. What made you tell a story about them?
\nAs long as I can remember, my parents have always liked to surround themselves with all sorts of things and store them. We have had a lot of discussions and jokes about this in the family. However, the film idea started to shape when parents were forced to empty one of the rooms in the old apartment where we once lived. An incredible treasure chest opened in the dusty cupboards, and it started to dawn to me that some of my parents’ valuable memories are related to these things. It turned out that this seemingly practical habit had much deeper personal reasons.
