Dust going back to Dust.
Travelling in their memories, three people coexist in an undefined space, where they meet different motives to travel back in time, dusting off their memories.
This universe is a place where memories are brought into the present moment where the moment is just another memory.
Scavenging into layers, like drawers in a cabinet containing the identity of their lives.
Blurring images run in front of their eyes probably too fast to live them for one more time and definitely too slow to just look at them without breaking into tears.
Salt in their wounds, sand in their eyes, a memory could hurt just as much as it could give pleasure. That eternal loop only breaks when darkness sets and takes over the last reminiscence of you.
By becoming their own memories, these three people dissolve into the illusion of time.
At the end we all become stories.
