Through the experiences of two women in Paris and London, the film examines the complexity of our ideas about ghosts, memory and the past. It highlights French philosopher Jacques Derrida, noting his view that cinema, when not boring, is the art of letting ghosts return, and that memory is the past that never assumes the shape of the present.
