Al Cook lives surrounded by memories. In his apartment, books, videotapes, and vinyl records fill every available space. They are all that remains of a life once fully lived. There, time seems to have stood still. The blues, the music that means everything to him, is slowly being forgotten. His hometown no longer feels like home, and the loss of his beloved wife still weighs heavy on his heart. When a real estate company targets his home for demolition, his refuge is taken away, leaving him to face the ruins of his life. Forced to let go of the treasures of his life, Al Cook faces a painful question: how do you move forward when your memories are all you have left? Presented at the Berlin International Film Festival.
