Synopsis: Luna, or Lulu, as her family calls her, is helping her mother and aunt clean out their mother’s old house. As she visits her childhood haunts, Lulu’s daydreams from growing up return to her, marking her growth like lines on a doorjamb.

But the experience is bittersweet, for it all looks different through her adult eyes. Worse yet is the reason for their visit: her grandmother has lost her memory. Lulu ponders how much her stories or anyone’s really matter if they can be forgotten.
