Sam’s mother didn’t show up at work this morning. As usual, while he was supposed to handle his move out of the house, the young man in his twenties drops his plans to take care of her.

A body is floating in the water. A strange bird is calling and memories come alive again. “Where were you when I was in despair?”, asks the friend.
