Irma walks through a market aisle. She keeps repeating a list of ingredients to herself. One, onion, two, half a kilo of tomatoes, three, a celery stalk, four, fish, and five? She recalls only four of them; the fifth one escapes her mind. She looks around hoping that something will help her remember. The answer hides somewhere inside her head. The market?s sounds, Colors and forms start to couple with Irma?s mental chaos. A magical atmosphere arises. Irma will have to take a journey to her deepest core to finally find her lost memory.
