A film about the place where to cry.
Where do we cry ?

Sometimes you cry in other people’s homes.
You phone up and you say:
I don’t want them to hear me, I don’t want them to see me,
could you give me the keys to your place?

In return you clean up, you vacuum a little,
or you leave a few chocolates on the kitchen table.

You have several sets of keys, several crying places,
bags full of gifts to cry in others’ homes.
